Why You Should Consider Using a Broker as an Alternative to Crown Commercial Service for Your Energy Contracts…

At Direct Power Associates Ltd, we believe that making informed decisions about your energy contracts is crucial for your organisation. While the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) offers a standardised approach to energy procurement, there are compelling reasons to consider using a dedicated broker like us instead.

Potential Downsides of Using CCS

While CCS provides a standardised solution, it may not be the best fit for every customer. Here are some potential downsides:

  • Standardised Approach: CCS offers a one-size-fits-all solution, which may not meet the unique needs of every customer.
  • Service Quality: Some customers have reported that CCS’s services can be of poor quality and not always in line with service agreements.
  • Lack of Personalisation: CCS may not provide the same level of personalised service and attention as a dedicated broker.
  • Limited Supplier Options: CCS may not have access to a broad range of suppliers, potentially limiting the best deals available in the market.
  • Inconsistent Value for Money: There have been reports that CCS has not always delivered consistent value for money.
Conclusion

At Direct Power Associates Ltd, we understand that energy procurement is critical to the successful operation of your organisation. By choosing us as your dedicated broker, you benefit from personalised service, market expertise, time savings, access to multiple suppliers, ongoing support, great pricing, and strategic direction.
