Lot 1 - Bill Validation and Energy Management Service

This framework agreement is for the provision of an online energy bureau service portal to support customers that are unable to carry out day-to-day energy management in house. The bureau service will focus on invoice validation, consumption monitoring and performance reporting as well as assistance with industry documentation and compliance.

Bill validation is a service which checks that the invoices sent from an energy provider are accurate. The online service will check each invoices content against certain defined criteria, such as (but not limited to):

• Validate all unit rates and charges
• Budget monitoring and accruals
• Production of ERP compatible payment files. Formats can be agreed by the customers
• Validate that any calculations on the invoice are correct (Including correction factors and calorific values)
• Check that consumption falls in line with expectation for any particularly billing period for each site. Tolerances to can be established by the customer
• Validate all capacity-based charges (HH KVa)
• Validate any reconciliation invoices
• Flag and identify any invoicing omissions
• Half hourly data validation is available
• If supplies have AMR, bills can be validated to ensure they are being billed to actual reads
• Reporting of any supplies that receive back-to-back estimated invoices
• Validate the application of de minimis rules and supplies that are eligible for a reduced VAT and no CCL
• Reports can be produced to advise customers which invoices are correct and can be paid and which can be queried with the supplier/provider
• Flexible system to suit the customer’s requirements


The online bureau portal can also provide customers with several different energy management and analytical tools and reports to support your goals with energy/carbon reduction targets.
