From cost uncertainty to budget stability

Helping education trusts plan for the future

Budget certainty is one of the biggest challenges facing the education sector today, especially when combined with the pressure to reduce carbon emissions in line with government targets. For budget holders, the focus is on finding ways to minimise costs where possible, without compromising on quality whilst addressing net-zero objectives. You’ll have our expert support every step of the way on your journey to carbon net zero, from analysing your energy use to providing a platform with insights for meaningful change, we’ll help you keep standards high while creating a sustainable future for education.

Minimising costs, maximising opportunities

Along with our innovative risk-management strategies, we’ll deliver budget certainty and, crucially, lower prices through our Public Contracts Regulations framework.  Providing access to multiple suppliers, our framework provides a competitive environment for each contract renewal or energy solution. The suppliers included have agreed to deliver services to a set of stringent KPIs, reducing time and hassle, resulting in a better customer experience for you.

We’ll undertake a thorough analysis of your consumption profile and provide realistic and cost-effective ways to reduce and in some cases eliminate many of these costs. We can also manage, audit, and recover energy costs through our forensic revenue recovery service, often securing refunds and future savings of six-figure values.

Fulfilling social and environmental responsibilities with Colchester Institute

Alice and the Trident team have proved to be an extremely supportive college partner in driving forward with our carbon reduction and sustainability initiatives. Once we established our baseline information in 2020, they've helped us take this further and develop our Future Net Zero action plan. Alice has helped us chart progress against this plan which is to achieve an initial 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.”

Success Story - Colchester Institute

Working with Trident to not only accelerate their net-zero journey but also inspire young people to lead the charge elsewhere, Colchester Institute began its partnership with us in August 2020.
