Australia : Bid Energy signs first government deal with NSW Procurement
Publish Date : 26-Dec-2016
In order to provide invoice review and reporting services for up to 3100 small gas accounts, for supplying natural gas, energy spend management firm, Bid Energy, has inked its first government deal with NSW state agency, NSW Procurement.
The 12-month deal will see BidEnergy, which is presently a prequalified vendor on the NSW Government's Performance and Management Services Scheme, deploying its platform to automatically capture invoices for all of small gas accounts of the NSW Government.
The company will also provide monthly reporting to NSW Procurement on invoice issues and cost cutting opportunities.
Under the deal, BidEnergy will start work on the contract on 1st January. The deal follows the firm's review of a sample of small gas sites, and business case development.
Managing director, BidEnergy, Stuart Allinson said, "Being aligned with governments is a big story globally for BidEnergy. Government agencies in our core markets of UK/US/Australia are experiencing challenges in accessing data and controlling their energy spend, and our supplier-agnostic approach enables us to work with governments when many organisations would be prevented on probity grounds. Government is a key target area for growth for us - so absolutely we will be waiting to take on other contracts in that field. We will capture all of NSW government's small gas invoices - thousands of separate accounts, analysing them on the fly and providing a monthly report to Procurement NSW on errors and opportunities to reduce costs. This will also open the door to the possibility of providing a broader range of services to individual agencies (but noting this would be by separate agreement, and not promoted by PNSW)."
He added, "Amazon Web Services will be pleased because we use AWS and this is consistent with a Cloud First purchasing strategy that is being adopted by many governments, including NSW."
