Energy Framework

Choice, transparency, compliance and green energy

We understand the growing pressures schools, academies and Trusts face – from rising energy costs and volatile markets to ambitious sustainability targets.

That’s why we’ve partnered with the Institute of School Business Leaders (ISBL) to offer a fully compliant energy procurement framework that gives you clarity, confidence and budget control.

  • Best value through competitive pricing

  • Choice of fixed and flexible contracts

  • Real-time insights and intelligent monitoring

  • Bill validation for confidence in every invoice

  • Comprehensive support beyond procurement

Key features and benefits

Fully compliant and transparent

Procured under the Procurement Act 2023 with full legal oversight, ensuring a transparent and secure process from start to finish.

Pricing transparency and budget certainty

Choose fixed or flexible pricing to balance budget control with market timing, guided by expert market insights.

Time savings

We act as your outsourced energy team, handling setup, supplier management and issues to save you time and avoid delays.

Enhanced efficiency

Beyond procurement, we validate bills for errors and give you easy access to powerful data through our user-friendly Portal.

Support for your sustainability goals

100% renewable electricity and expert support for  net zero  and carbon reporting. Our Greener Schools Index and ISBL-accredited training help school leaders track progress and drive real change.

Why choose our energy framework?

Our procurement process is fully compliant with the Procurement Act 2023, with complete legal oversight to ensure a secure and transparent journey from start to finish. By accessing a mini-tender with 12 pre-approved suppliers, we deliver competitive pricing tailored to your organisation’s needs – without compromising on quality or compliance.

We offer flexible contract options to suit your risk appetite and budget priorities. Whether you prefer the certainty of fixed rates or the flexibility of market-based purchasing, our ZenFlex Secure solution spreads procurement over time, helping you avoid short-term price volatility while maximising long-term value. All electricity is sourced from 100% renewable generation, with expert support to help reduce emissions and advance your net zero strategy.

Beyond procurement, we’re here to support your organisation at every stage. Our bill validation service ensures every invoice is accurate by checking it against your contract and usage, resolving issues directly with the supplier and recovering overpayments where needed. From contract management and supplier liaison to market tracking, benchmarking and social value initiatives, we’re committed to helping you achieve your energy, sustainability, and cost-saving goals.
