The three areas of consideration when building a business energy strategy

Cost
Growing operating costs, unstable economic landscapes and the cost of living crisis have many businesses worried about the future of their bottom lines. Procure Smart’s team has been saving businesses money for more than 10 years.  We understand that leaders are under more financial pressure than ever.

Two in five small-to-medium enterprises fear closure within five years due to energy costs (Source: EnergyLiveNews), while heating has become a “luxury” for 50% of SMEs. Businesses often leave their renewal until the last minute because it’s a complicated and time-consuming process. That’s why we created our super-fast and easy switching process to enable you to get back to doing what you do best while our experts handle the cost-saving process for you.

Consumption
Energy efficiency isn’t just good practice; it’s smart business.

Cutting energy consumption can significantly improve your brand reputation, ESG goals and carbon-neutral targets. Energy-efficient businesses save up to 25% on energy bills, open carbon-related tendering opportunities, and contribute to the UK’s 2050 net-zero target.

Carbon
An increasingly important third element is carbon. We all want to emit less carbon, but our ability to reduce our emissions depends largely on the first two factors.

Procuring renewable energy, boosting energy efficiency, and use of monitoring and tracking technology such as SmartVu can support organisations in reducing carbon emmissions.

The degree to which you can achieve these things will depend on a range of factors, including:

Solar PV is leading the UK’s renewables charge.

UK solar capacity has grown by 14% in the past year, adding roughly 2.6 GW since November 2024. This continues a decade-long rise from under 12 GW in 2016 to more than 20 GW by 2025.

At Procure Smart, we’re proud to offer a turnkey solution to guide your business on the viability, feasibility and installation of renewables projects from solar to biomass and everything in between.

Smarter business switching.

Just like comparison websites, Procure Smart earns commission as a proportion of your spend for each referral we make to a supplier.  For most service types, we will not bill you directly.  More detail can be found in our terms and conditions.

Procure Smart is a distruptor in B2B switching.  We are doing things differently to put more power in the hands of UK businesses and make switching faster, simpler and more transparent.

We will reach out to contact you and establish your needs without pestering you excessively.  From there, we’ll present prices and explain our recommendation.

Our Procurement Solutions Managers are experts at what they do with decades of experience in contract negotiation.

We do much more for customers than simply provide great deals.  From advice on the market to negotiating plans with suppliers, Procure Smart has helped many businesses access contracts who would otherwise have been left on out-of-contract rates.

We’re always pro-actively engaging with suppliers and the market, meaning we can advise on the most advantageous time to switch contracts.

As with most procurement processes, larger purchases can result in improved deals via economy of scale.

However, this can lead to incredible levels of complexity.  That’s where we come in, taking a painful task off your hands and handing it to an expert with access to systems and relationships to accelerate the process.

You can negotiate a new contract no matter the stage of your deal.  New deals can concurrently run automatically following your current contract.

It is important to note that agreed contracts are legally binding and must be honoured.

Switch Savvi is smart enough to handle out-of-contract customers.

The system will set your live date to the earliest possible date with your chosen supplier.  This is usually approximately 5 days from now. 

This is all subject to lock-in confirmation with your chosen supplier.

NOTE: switching suppliers can be blocked by your current supplier even if you’re out of contract in the event that you have unpaid debt on your meter.

The best way to reduce costs is to reduce usage!

We can help you create a holistic energy strategy, which will assess all commercial options, including energy management.

From technology to monitoring to renewable generation, we can help you plot the most efficient way forward.

Not immediately, but soon.

Once your contract has passed our quality checks, it will be sent to the supplier to be “locked-in”.  This process takes less than one business day.  If you have completed your deal on Switch Savvi Mon-Fri, we will contact you within 24 hours with any issues. If it’s a weekend, we will contact you on Monday with any issues

Once a supplier confirms a deal is locked in, Procure Smart’s Quality Team will email you with confirmation.  At this stage you have legally agreed the contract in line with Procure Smart’s terms and conditions.

At this point, you have switched savvi!
