Procurement

Make procurement a breeze with the best contracting process in the industry.

Procurement

Our clients are busy dealing with other complexities and tasks in their world. Our goal is to make sure that their energy needs are met in the most efficient manner possible with the lowest pricing. 

The modern procurement method is 
based on 3 core ideas:

1

Easy and seamless process for clients.

2

Maximum value extraction from bidders and the lowest price.

3

Plan for the future, today.

Each client has their own needs and circumstances. Whether you need a long or short contract we have the tools available to help you make the best decision for your budget and risk. At Van Brunt & Associates we do it all and we do it with one thing in mind... 
It must be a smart contract.

Here’s how the best in class entities are working with us to procure their energy needs at the lowest prices.

Van Brunt & Associates

Energy Secure Contract ™

A contract designed specifically for entities in deregulated areas to protect against risk and create a true apples-to-apples comparison. 

Energy contracts are full of nuance that only becomes clear once the first bill has come. Our clients know that major risks associated with a poor contract can lead to unexpected price adders disrupting the entire energy budget. Our clients get the best terms and conditions with no surprises. 

Save Time & Money

Our contract is already pre-approved by the market's top electricity suppliers. This saves time and money for our clients and suppliers as they do not need to involve their legal teams to get approval. We invested in this contract long ago so that our clients see savings today. 

Client Protection

We hope for the best but have planned for the worst. Our contract has built in mechanisms to protect our members from all risks associated with energy procurement. 


 -  Regulatory Risks

 -  Supplier Default Risk

 -  Performance risk

Always Prepared

Planning doesn’t always go the way your team thought it would. We take this into account so that when things change we have already planned this for in the original contract with a generous add/delete allowance. We also incorporate known growth plans into your contract to minimize your risk.

Contract Benefits

 -  Unlimited Swing

 -  Favorable Change In Law protections

 -  Appropriations and & Prompt Pay Act language

 -  No Monthly Customer Charge

 -  No unknown pass thru charges

Avoid long...

Do-it-yourself

RFPs!

Do-it-yourself RFP’s come with some major drawbacks, especially for today’s overstretched teams. Many that run RFP’s don’t hire outside help so they end up with inferior contracts, higher prices, and unexpected pass-through costs.
At Van Brunt & Associates we takes care of 
our client's from a 360° perspective.
