West Yorkshire Police energy case study

Relationship with YPO

As an organisation, we use a number of YPO Frameworks. Specifically I work with them using their utilities frameworks.

The challenge

During the energy crisis the increase in our gas and electricity costs and uncertainties in the market were a major budget pressure and worry. Our aim was to find price certainty at competitive rates relative to the volatile market.

The solution

We worked closely with the YPO Energy Team to consider our options and through this process were able to achieve price certainty at competitive rates. During this process YPO enhanced and grew their team and client information flow. This reflected the client need as a relatively static market became unpredictable and inflationary. They have provided support to us individually as well as with other framework users. They brought in an energy market specialist in Steve Warren who has been able to provide both enhanced market insight and also a clear customer liaison.

The collaboration

This is a Framework and there are monthly customer meetings with the suppliers for both gas and electricity. YPO also host specific meetings for the Yorkshire and Humberside Police Forces considering any specific issues for us.

The experience

The energy crisis came as a shock and that was felt by YPO at the time as with the market in general. They responded though improving communication, supplementing their team and being available for customers with specific questions. As quite a tasking client I have appreciated their support.

The result

As a result we have had both price certainty and competitive pricing for our gas and electricity.
