Open competition. Like-for-like comparison. Clauses you'd want removed — removed.
Most procurement work happens at the renewal email. Ours starts 12 months earlier. We tender to 30+ suppliers, normalise the quotes, negotiate the awkward clauses out, and recommend in writing. You sign one thing.

Why TUS for procurement
30+ supplier panel
Open, competitive tender to the established UK suppliers and the credible challengers. No favourite supplier. No hidden margin.
Like-for-like comparison
Quotes normalised for non-commodity components, contract length, security of supply and credit terms — so the cheapest unit rate isn't silently the most expensive contract.
Clauses we remove
Take-or-pay, restrictive volume tolerance, automatic rollover, indexed pass-through where it shouldn't be — we negotiate them out before signature.
Written recommendation
Every recommendation arrives as a clean PDF — the case, the comparison, the contract terms, the risks. Not a screenshot of a portal.
Onboarding and validation
After signature we manage the supplier switch, validate the first invoice line-by-line, and resolve disputes. You don't chase.
Yolk monitoring after
Once live, the contract goes into Yolk — half-hourly visibility, anomaly alerts, and a renewal-window alert 12 months out so we plan early.
Move from a single price-fix to a portfolio you actively manage.
Our trade desk currently manages over 150 GWh in flex contracts on behalf of UK businesses, and beat supplier projections by 20% in the last 12 months. You stay in control. We do the trading.
