What our customers say

Melanie Brewis
"An absolute game changer for our business"
Warren’s energy and enthusiasm are contagious—he’s always ready to go the extra mile to ensure we get the best deals. Not only is he a true professional, but his cheeky sense of humor and big heart make him a pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely cares about his clients, Warren is your guy! Highly recommend!
Barry Bowen
"Excellent Professional People"
All was sorted out very quickly and a good saving to boot over what we are paying at the present time.
Lisa M
"I highly recommend for business utilities"
All of the staff I have dealt with have been polite and efficient, and more importantly, easily contactable.

The whole process was well explained and easy. Dealing with problems from suppliers can be very stressful.

Knowing any issues I may have with my chosen supplier in the future will be dealt with by Warren gives peace of mind.
Linda Hoffman
"We are supported every step of the way"
A first class service in this complicated web of deals and confusion. I would recommend Procure Smart to any small charity like ours.

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!

Signing a LOA allow Procure Smart to discuss your account with suppliers on your behalf.

Of course you can!

Many UK businesses lack the in-house resources to efficiently procure the services they need. Without external expertise, they often end up paying way above the going rate without realising.

Procure Smart will undertake a comprehensive audit of your business’ procurement needs and identify areas of your business where savings can easily be made.

Following the deregulation of the English water market in April 2017, businesses are now able to choose their supplier based on price and quality of service. Our procurement experts will work on your behalf to find the best supplier, with the most suitable deal, and manage the switching process for you.

Our service doesn’t end at switching your supplier.  Here at Procure Smart, we go the extra mile to ensure all of your business water needs are accounted for, including:

  • Usage Analysis – Thorough analysis of your business’ current water usage, identifying whether you’re being billed for more water than required.
  • Bill Analysis – Overcharging is common within the water sector due to unintentional billing errors. Our bill analysis assessment is the smart approach to controlling your expenditure.
  • Surface Water & Highway Drainage – Not every business needs to be paying drainage charges. We’ll audit your premises to ensure you’re only paying what you need to be.
  • Trade Effluent Negotiations – Are you sure you’re paying the correct trade effluent charge? With years of experience behind them, our team have a proven track record of ensuring our customers only pay the required fees.

Due to our relationships with some of the UK’s leading energy suppliers, we’re able to negotiate the exact contract required to fit your every business need.

  • Fixed-rate contracts – Pre-agreed unit rate (measured in kWh) with your supplier for the duration of your contract. They are the most common business energy tariffs as they enable businesses to  maximise the accuracy of their long-term financial forecasts.
  • Green energy contracts  A form of contract where some or all of the energy you buy is ‘matched’ by purchases of renewable energy that your energy supplier makes on your company’s behalf.  This can contribute to lowering your carbon emissions.
  • Pass through contracts – You agree to some, but not all charges upfront with your supplier, with the remainder being ‘passed through’ to you at an additional cost, depending on factors such as your time of usage. These contracts are favoured by many businesses who operate outside of normal operating hours when energy charges are typically lower. However, be warned, whilst savings can be made, pass through contracts make businesses significantly more vulnerable to variable charges.

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.

Yes!  Either versus your previous contract or versus your current renewal offer, we are confident in Switch Savvi’s ability to find you an appetising deal.

Quotes are no-obligation, so give it a try.

Yes, once your business energy contract has been locked in, you are legally responsible for the fulfilment of the contract.

Fraudulently terminating an energy contract or agreeing duplicate contracts with business energy suppliers leaves you susceptible to cancellation charges or loss of revenue charges from suppliers or TPIs.

This applies in the same way as any business energy contract and is no different if you agree your contract via Switch Savvi.

There’s always a person available if you don’t want to switch online. Give us a call on 0330 818 3007 and speak to one of our experts.
