Five-property hotel group on rolled-over electricity contracts with no central procurement. Energy spend had grown 41% in two years with no benchmarking against the market.
Solution
Ran a 14-supplier tender for half-hourly electricity and basket-purchased gas across all sites. Aligned contract end dates and installed AMR meters to remove estimated billing.

Solution
Forensic 6-year invoice audit, CCL re-band application, VAT split between qualifying and non-qualifying supply, and a flexible tracker contract capturing wholesale dips.
