Making utility management easy for North Essex Schools Partnership

What North Essex Schools Partnership thought

I must say thank you to Zenergi for making the change to new fuel suppliers so easy. I love the online signing, it is so simple and we had it all sorted in under an hour and that included waiting for the Headteacher to come out of a meeting so we could have her approval.

North Essex Schools Partnership

For the North Essex Schools Partnership, managing utilities across 17 schools is made simpler with us as its trusted partner for over 15 years. The consortium has benefitted from streamlined energy and water procurement, ensuring cost-effectiveness, compliance and a stress-free experience for its schools.

Outsourcing utilities for peace of mind

Handling utilities across multiple schools is no small task. That’s why the North Essex Schools Partnership relies on Zenergi as its outsourced utilities partner. From arranging energy and water contracts tailored to each school’s budget, to validating bills and resolving supplier issues, we take care of it all.

Our procurement service offers each school a wide choice of contracts and suppliers that are regularly market tested through a Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) compliant framework. This ensures transparency, accountability, and value for money, giving school leaders confidence in their decisions

A joined up service

Our service doesn’t stop at securing the best value contracts. We also give schools the tools they need to manage their consumption. With our easy-to-use customer portal, schools can access their consumption data 24/7, making it easier than ever to monitor, manage and reduce usage.

And our technical expertise helps schools go further. We deliver Display Energy Certificates, ensuring compliance while identifying opportunities to lower energy consumption, reduce costs, and shrink their carbon footprint.

Driving results

Utilities management is no longer a challenge for the North Essex Schools Partnership, thanks to our help. With streamlined services, insightful tools, and dedicated support, its schools can focus on delivering on its core principle to create a first-class education for its pupils.
