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.

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.
