CES starts every procurement process by getting to know our clients and how they use energy. Usage patterns, fixed and variable costs, hedged and open positions, appetite for risk, and contractual obligations are all factors that play a role in the decision-making process. Each of our clients has different goals and logistical requirements, and understanding these unique factors is at the foundation of our approach to procurement strategy.
The principles that guide our procurement process have their roots in the Three Pillars that define our company:
Trust
CES is deeply committed to our clients. This commitment begins with open communication and transparency. We believe that educating our clients about energy markets goes hand in hand with both a successful partnership and a successful procurement outcome. We believe in building long-term trust and partnership with our clients.
Independence
CES works solely for our clients and structures our relationships with them to ensure it is crystal clear that we are always looking out for their best interests. CES is 100% supplier-neutral and puts the interests of our clients first and foremost in the process.
Expertise
CES has been at the forefront of energy procurement since the advent of deregulation in 2000, and our unique competitive bid process has been refined over thousands of pricing solicitations. Our process is recognized in the industry to be the best practices approach to achieving the best price in any given market condition.
We take your past and present account data, future plans, and current challenges, and build each step around your unique needs. Our flexible bid solicitation can accommodate aggregated or individual load profiles, multiple product types, or even specific contract language. Plus, the cycle doesn’t stop until you’re satisfied with the results. Even after the contract is locked, CES is there to facilitate the transition of accounts and manage communication with suppliers.
Bid Analysis: A Complete Picture
Part of the value that CES provides is an apples-to-apples comparison of all energy suppliers available to serve our clients. The CES bid analysis provides a summary and detailed analysis of all bids received and provides estimated savings by comparing the lowest offered bid to the current contract rate. Having these results immediately available allows our clients to make quick decisions and capture market opportunities.
