Brigshaw Learning Partnership was procuring its energy as part of a Public Buying Organisation framework. Zenergi supported the Trust’s exit from the framework with a 24-month
contract that saved an estimated £18,000 (28%) per annum against its previous gas contract.
Brigshaw Learning Partnership will benefit from Zenergi’s full service, including invoice validation; access to a customer portal for visibility of energy usage to support accurate budgeting,
along with regular commentary and recommendations from a dedicated account manager; and full support for any energy-related queries managed through to resolution with suppliers.
In addition to procurement for energy and water, the Trust can also access additional energy-related services as part of a complete end-to-end energy package. These services support
schools to meet their compliance obligations, including Display Energy Certificates (DECs); Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR); and Air Conditioning Inspections (TM44).
Zenergi can also support schools to become more energy efficient, with audits that offer an understanding of energy use and identify opportunities to reduce consumption
and associated costs; and help to unlock available government funding for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
Brigshaw Learning Partnership moved from buying through a framework to a broker arrangement. We have made significant savings and are enjoying the added benefit services and advice from Zenergi.

School Business Professionals are increasingly challenged to balance shrinking budgets and escalating operating costs. However, energy is an area that offers opportunities to protect school budgets through a competitive tender process that proactively secures prices that take advantage of low wholesale market positions where possible.
We started working with Windmill Care when we successfully negotiated good tariffs for gas and electricity contracts for the group’s three care homes. But, before they went live, Windmill Care’s incumbent supplier identified a billing issue.
