The independent school leader’s guide to energy procurement

The independent school leader’s guide to energy procurement

Discover the key factors that independent schools should consider when procuring energy.

Energy procurement in independent schools is no longer a routine administrative task. Complex estates, heritage and listed buildings, shared meters serving several buildings, and evolving compliance mean that energy decisions carry strategic, financial, and operational implications. A fully informed decision helps schools secure financial stability and reduce risk.

Dive deeper into the following areas:

  •  Procurement strategies and risk management
  • Choosing the right approach
  • Navigating common challenges
  • How to avoid financial and operational risks
  • What to look for in a strategic partner

For independent schools balancing the impact of the removal of tax breaks on school fees, having budget certainty is a major factor in energy procurement decision-making. With energy costs at such a significant overhead, decision-makers want to know how much energy is going to cost before they are setting aside their annual budgets. Otherwise, it’s not easy to determine where to allocate resources."
