Energy procurement, rebuilt on AI-native infrastructure.
Lower bills, more transparency, total control.
A structured tender saves you serious money. Our back office saves you the rest — the hours, the admin, the hold music. All for one small fixed fee, agreed upfront — with nothing ever added to your unit rate.
Meet Otis
The most advanced way to buy energy. Now yours.
Otis — your market analyst — watches every price in the market, around the clock. Your dedicated account manager is your single point of contact — every task, query and contract handled for you.
One fixed fee. Fully transparent.
One fixed annual fee — that’s what you pay for the innovative software and the service around it: Otis, your account manager and the whole back office. Agreed upfront and never changing, with nothing added to your unit rates — no supplier commissions, no incentives, and every supplier competing on level terms.
Agreed upfront — in writing
Nothing added to unit rates — ever
No supplier commissions or incentives
Save thousands on your energy bill
Three places the money comes from — typically worth £10k–£40k on a tendered contract, after our fee.
Up to 30% between suppliers
That's the gap between the best and worst price for the same meter. We price the whole market — 27 suppliers, tier-1 names to niche specialists, tender or live price books — and nothing is ever added to your unit rates.
Up to 15% from timing
When you contract matters as much as who with. Otis — our market analyst — watches wholesale prices and supplier price books around the clock, so you buy in the right window, not just at renewal.
Zero out-of-contract risk
Out-of-contract rates carry a 50–100% premium — the cost of a missed renewal. Every renewal window is tracked continuously, so you're never caught out.
Everything in your hands — you stay in control
Whatever your size, your procurement runs in your hands — with the market data, supplier reach and negotiating leverage the biggest buyers take for granted. That's the gap we close.
Market timing, called for you
Otis reads the market and calls the buying window — professional-grade analysis, working in your hands, not someone else's.
Everything in one place
Every quote, contract, consumption feed and market movement in one portal — your procurement visible end to end, with historical data on tap.
You stay in control
Every quote and every term visible, side by side, in plain English — the decision is always yours.
Dedicated support
Buying well is the headline — but energy doesn't go quiet between contracts. The support around it comes included: your energy desk, without the headcount.
A dedicated, named account manager
Your single point of contact from day one — one person who knows your sites, your contracts and your priorities, backed by the 55-strong support team behind them. One name, one number, no call centre. And you never speak to an energy supplier again: 27 years of relationships give us direct priority lines into every supplier on our panel, so queries that would take you an afternoon on hold take us minutes.

Results
What it looks like in practice
Three tenders, three different businesses — the same pattern: a benchmark, a structured tender, and a saving that dwarfs the fee.
case study
Precision manufacturing
£27,400
saved per year vs the renewal offer
A 2.1 GWh single-site electricity supply, tendered nine months ahead of renewal. Wait & watch tracked the market through winter and locked in on a spring dip — well below the benchmark set at kick-off.
case study
Logistics & warehousing · 4 sites
£38,900
saved across the portfolio
Two larger sites went to full tender; two smaller supplies were priced from supplier matrices in the same exercise. Every offer normalised and compared side by side — one decision, four contracts aligned.
case study
Food & beverage production
£16,200
saved per year — first direct tender
A first-time direct buyer moving off a renewal letter. Discovery to award inside the first market window: a signed Letter of Authority, one 10-minute call, and a clear recommendation backed by every quote received.
