Procurement

The volatility of the markets present on ongoing challenge to businesses. ista has both the expertise (in all utility areas including electricity and gas) as well as systems to help you through procurement either as a standalone resource or to compliment your existing in-house facilities.

ista procurement expertise was initially gained as a supplier. We have in depth understanding of the “upstream” issues that set the pricing curves which drive procurement processes. Subsequently, we have procured a vast amount of electricity and gas for single and multiple- site clients, developing purchasing solutions to accommodate all types of market conditions.

As a consequence some approaches such as electronic auctions and wholesale purchasing have become ineffective or too risky.

ista has developed a rapid data capture system that means:

• Prices can be analyzed in an instant
• The variability of supplier pricing structures can be handled, ensuring prices are reloaded as they become available
• We have developed a number of purchasing strategies to mitigate the price movement and volatility
• We can optimize tariff structures and renegotiate specific supplier terms and conditions in line with client requirements
