The purpose of this engagement is to gain a better understanding of the services available within the market, emerging trends, delivery models, innovation opportunities, and potential procurement approaches.

Interested suppliers are invited to participate and provide feedback on their capabilities, service offerings, market insights and experience in delivering services such as energy procurement, trading support, budget forecasting, invoice validation, market intelligence, contract management, reporting and related energy management services. Participation in this engagement exercise is entirely voluntary and will not form part of any evaluation process.
