The Schools of King Edward VI in Birmingham

The Trust has made a combined saving of over £160,000 per annum or £480,000 over the full contract term as a result of working with Dukefield Energy.

Challenge
Although satisfied with their existing arrangements, the framework offered a good range of key benefits to benchmark value and boost sustainability such as multi-supplier further competition, renewable energy options, a dedicated helpdesk, ongoing support and OJEU compliance.

Solution
Following a multi-supplier quotation exercise, 36 month fully fixed contract options were selected for gas and electricity for longer term budget security. Throughout the process, Dukefield Energy made sure all of the Trust’s queries were answered and continually monitored the market to get the best and lowest contracting point.

Benefits
The chosen 100% Renewable Electricity contract with Haven Power and SSE Gas contract resulted in combined saving for the Trust of over £160,000 per annum or £480,000 over the full contract term.

Dukefield Energy will also be providing value-added services such as Bill Validation, Cost and Consumption Monitoring, Market Tracking, Query Management, Graphical Analysis and a dedicated Account Manager. Dukefield Energy have also reviewed current electric Capacity (KVA) levels, to identify any surplus for savings or future growth, and have organised an Energy Efficiency workshop with Haven Power.
