Variables like weather, drought, changing consumer energy consumption behaviour, and storage surplus are dramatically impacting gas and electricity prices – pre-commit today to safeguard your budget.  
 
Benefits of upcoming contract: 

• Largest national buying power: Our program uniquely aggregates volumes across all members before going to market, ensuring maximum leverage, procurement flexibility, and the same low price for all members. 

• Continual RFPs over course of contract: By regularly issuing RFPs to a range of pre-qualified suppliers, we ensure the lowest price on every transaction. 

• Ongoing Planning & Volume Adjustments: Volumes are adjusted to meet current needs, reducing the risk of over-purchasing.  
  

• Streamlined management and administrative process: Member hospitals are not required to manage their energy programs individually, unlike most other GPO contracts, which have members sign directly with the provider and handle day-to-day functions such as purchasing decisions, load balancing, supplier prequalification, supply tendering, and supply contracting. 

• Consulting & reporting to support member ESG Goals: Supporting sustainability efforts with annual carbon foot printing, annual emissions reporting, and the development of conservation plans 

• Resource savings for hospitals: Hospitals save time by not having to issue their own RFP for ECNG services, while benefiting from better fees and end-user prices. We estimate that issuing an RFP for our services costs the largest HealthPRO Canada members the equivalent of one year of ECNG's fees. 

• Risk management: Consultation and coordinated approach to risk management by leading industry experts who have healthcare specific experience in implementing, managing and growing a provincial energy management program. 

• Control remains with the member hospital: Members always have final say on procurement strategies. If a member prefers not to join the overall portfolio approach to purchasing gas/power, we can develop a customized strategy to meet their needs. 

• Full Compliance with Procurement Regulations
