Domestic Energy Supplier for Void Properties (Supplier Engagement Event)

Each year YHN manages approximately 2500 voids. Every void property is subject to various checks, remedial works and cleaning to ensure its suitability for the next tenant. It is vital that the utilities supply is not interrupted and any historic debt does not preclude a new tenant from accessing gas and electricity supplies. With this in mind, YHN would like to procure an energy supplier to take over the supply of gas and electricity when a property becomes void

These will be in the form of individual 30-minute appointments and, will start at 9.00am. The last appointment available will be at 15.00pm.

Our main focus is to improve services for tenants, ensure a smooth handover of properties and, to reduce officer time and spending on the settling of any old energy debt. Desired Outcomes: • Information on market offerings to address the issues outlined above • An understanding of current best practice • Joint exploration of potential outcome-based considerations
