Goal

Reduce energy costs and establish a stable, predictable procurement process in Poland—based on clear decision rules and transparent reporting.

Challenges

01
Build an effective energy procurement strategy tailored to operations in Poland.
02
Standardise the decision-making process and align expectations between local teams and HQ.
03
Introduce daily portfolio monitoring without information overload.
04
Identify and control non-price terms in contracts (risk, terms & conditions, cost components).

What we did

Energy procurement strategy: we built a clear action plan and decision rules—what we monitor, when we launch the process, and how we close the decision.
Risk management + portfolio monitoring: we implemented tools and control points for day-to-day tracking of the procurement position.
Decision support: we delivered clear takeaways: what changed, what it means, and what the next step should be.
Tender support + contractual framework: we supported the supplier selection and contract setup, accounting not only for price but also for non-price terms.
Order in contracts and communication: we organised the procurement inputs so decisions were consistent, defensible, and easier to approve.
