Many care providers are familiar with frequent calls from energy brokers offering quick quotes and seemingly competitive deals. However, these approaches often rely on limited information and generic assumptions.
In the current environment, where Middle East tensions are contributing to volatility in global energy markets, making decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information carries even greater risk.
Cold-call brokers typically base quotes on postcode and estimated consumption, failing to reflect the reality of 24-hour care provision. This can lead to inappropriate pricing structures and exposure to additional charges.
The risk is compounded by a lack of regulation. Providers may unknowingly enter into contracts that prioritise commission over value.
To mitigate these risks, providers should avoid making decisions based on unsolicited offers. Instead, they should seek detailed analysis and trusted advice tailored to the care sector.
Energy procurement is now too important to leave to chance. A considered approach is essential to protect both financial stability and service delivery.
