How it works

How a tender works

A tender with Business Savings Guru has five steps: you sign a letter of authority, we build the register of every meter, suppliers quote on the same basis, you choose on total yearly cost, and we check the first bills on the new contracts.

  • Nothing is agreed until you sign a contract
  • Our commission disclosed on the contract you sign
  • A named account manager for every portfolio

The five steps

  1. 1

    Letter of authority

    You sign a letter that lets us ask suppliers for your contract details and quotes. It does not commit you to anything.

  2. 2

    The register

    We list every meter, supplier, rate, end date and notice period, and flag anything on out-of-contract rates.

  3. 3

    Quotes on the same basis

    We approach suppliers from our panel of over 20 energy suppliers, and those who quote do so for each site on the same terms and consumption, so the figures can be compared fairly. We aim to provide quotes within 48 hours of receiving the information and authority needed, depending on the complexity of your requirements.

  4. 4

    Your decision

    You see each option's total yearly cost and what is fixed and what can change. Our commission is disclosed on the contract you sign.

  5. 5

    Switch and check

    We handle the switch, then check the first bills on every site against the new contract.

How we are paid

At Business Savings Guru, we believe customers should understand how their energy broker is paid. Our commission is clearly disclosed on the energy contract you sign, so you know how BSG is remunerated before you commit. How broker fees work

Questions we are asked

How long does it take?
We aim to provide quotes within 48 hours of receiving the information and authority needed, depending on the complexity of your requirements. Larger portfolios take longer to gather, so we start well before your end dates.
What do you need from us?
A recent bill for each site, or a list of meter numbers and addresses, and a signed letter of authority.
Who will we deal with?
Every portfolio has a named account manager. We aim to respond to enquiries within one working hour (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm).
What happens after the contracts start?
We keep every end date on the register and contact you before each renewal window opens.
