Energy Procurement For The Public Sector
Compliant energy solutions designed to power the public sector
Our OJEU/FTS compliant procurement framework
Trident's OJEU/FTS procurement framework offers public sector organisations a compliant way to procure and supply electricity and gas. The energy framework has several supplier choices and contract options. Resulting in lower energy costs through increased competition and the ability to adopt a procurement strategy that meets your specific needs.
Every supplier approved to the energy framework operates to a service level agreement that includes sanctions for poor performance. Trident monitor performance levels, which result in fewer billing errors, faster handling of queries, and improved communication.
Our public sector team has over 20 years of experience with housing associations, local authorities, education, and healthcare providers. We have a range of services to help and support our clients to manage their energy budgets. We will purchase energy at the best time for your organisation and in a compliant manner.
