Energy contracts,
expertly timed.
The market moves daily. We watch it so you don't — forward-buying your gas and electricity at the right moment, on the right terms.
Procurement is a timing game. Most businesses play it blind.
Energy suppliers price contracts off wholesale markets that shift every day. Renew at the wrong moment — or worse, roll onto out-of-contract rates — and you can pay 30–60% over the odds for identical energy.
River's procurement team tracks forward curves across the whole market. We build a purchasing strategy around your usage profile and risk appetite, then execute it: fixed, flexible, or blended. And because we're independent, the recommendation is always the one that suits you — not the supplier paying the biggest commission.
- Whole-of-market comparison — every credible supplier, every contract type
- Forward-buying locks in rates up to several seasons ahead
- Bill validation catches metering and billing errors — and claws them back
- Renewal management: never roll over onto punitive default rates again
Commercial benefits of managed procurement
Buying energy well is a discipline, not a transaction. Four things change when someone is actually running it.
Market intelligence
Live wholesale tracking and quarterly outlooks, translated into plain-English buy or wait recommendations. Suppliers price contracts off markets that move every day; we watch those markets so your renewal lands on a good one rather than whichever day your contract happens to expire.
Risk managed
Fixed for certainty, flexible for opportunity, or a blended book — matched to your appetite, not ours. We build the purchasing strategy around your usage profile and how much price exposure your business can genuinely absorb.
Green supply options
REGO-backed renewable electricity and green gas contracts that stand up to CSR scrutiny. Renewable supply is quoted alongside conventional terms so you can see exactly what the commitment costs before you make it.
Billing errors recovered
Every client's bills are checked against contract terms. Metering and billing errors are far more common than most finance teams expect, and left unchecked they compound quietly for the length of the contract. We catch them and claw them back.
Procurement solutions
Whole-of-market buying, portfolio alignment and the ongoing management that keeps a good contract good.
Electricity
Business electricity & gas contracts
We tender your electricity and gas across every credible supplier and contract type, then execute the strategy that fits your risk position — fixed, flexible or blended. Forward contracts can be secured well before your current one ends, locking today's prices for tomorrow's supply.
Portfolio
Multi-site & portfolio contracts
Portfolio alignment, basket contracts and group purchasing bring every site onto coherent terms and dates. Instead of a dozen renewals drifting apart across the year, you get one contract position you can actually plan around.
Green
Green & REGO-backed supply
REGO-backed renewable electricity and green gas, quoted alongside conventional terms so the cost of the commitment is visible rather than assumed. Contracts that hold up when your reporting is scrutinised.
Management
Bill validation & contract management
Invoices checked against contracted terms, metering errors identified and recovered, renewal dates tracked so nothing rolls onto punitive out-of-contract rates. The contract is the start of the work, not the end of it.
Our process
Six stages from your first bill to your next renewal — all of it run by the same team.
Share your bills
Upload recent invoices and we analyse usage, rates and contract end dates. A bill tells us more in ten minutes than a questionnaire does in an hour, and it costs you nothing to send one.
Usage & contract analysis
We build a picture of your consumption profile, your current terms and where you sit against the market. This is where overcharges and mis-set meters usually surface.
Market strategy
A clear purchasing plan with market context and modelled outcomes — fixed, flexible or blended, matched to your usage profile and your appetite for price exposure.
Tender & negotiation
We take your requirement to the whole market and negotiate on your behalf. Because we are independent, the recommendation is driven by your outcome rather than by supplier incentives.
Contract placement
We place the contract and you sign off the final terms. Everything is documented, including what we recommended and why, so the decision is auditable later.
Ongoing management
Contract administration, bill checks and renewal alerts for the life of the agreement. You are told a renewal is coming well before it becomes urgent.
Independent and whole-of-market
River is not tied to any supplier. We are paid transparently and every recommendation is driven by your outcome, not by whoever is paying the biggest commission.
