Energy Procurement

A structured and transparent procurement process for commercial gas and electricity, built around your consumption, contract position and commercial objectives.

Overview

Procurement built on data, not sales pressure

Energy procurement is not simply about finding the cheapest unit rate. It's about understanding your full energy cost stack, assessing market conditions, structuring contracts that fit your business, and managing the supplier relationship across the contract term.

Vantage approaches relevant suppliers available through our commercial arrangements and presents suitable options on a comparable basis. We explain material differences between contract structures and the commercial considerations behind the available choices.

How Vantage is remunerated can vary by supplier, service and customer arrangement. We explain the applicable structure in line with relevant contractual and disclosure requirements, with further information available in our Trust Centre and Commission Disclosure.

Questions

Frequently asked

How long does the procurement process take?+
Typically 2–4 weeks from initial review to contract signature, depending on supplier response times and the complexity of your portfolio. We recommend you start reviewing 6–12 months before your contract end date to access the widest range of options.
Which suppliers do you work with?+
Supplier access can vary according to our commercial arrangements, the type of supply, customer eligibility and the requirements of the procurement exercise. We explain the relevant supplier options available for your review rather than presenting our service as whole-of-market unless that is demonstrably the case.
What is a Letter of Authority?+
A Letter of Authority (LOA) is a document that allows us to access your consumption data and approach suppliers on your behalf. It does not commit you to any contract — it simply enables us to gather the information needed to provide a recommendation.
