From tender transparency
to a procurement platform.
A phased plan for leasehold.energy — starting with visible, auditable tenders, and building toward a multi-tenant platform for managing agents, brokers, and directors.
Phase 1 — Now
Onboarding & Tender Transparency
Vet incoming block registrations and let clients watch tenders run without lifting a finger. Build trust through visible, auditable work.
Onboarding queue to vet Block Registrations and convert vetted blocks into Buildings
Read-only client view of live tenders, quotes, and documents (no client input yet)
Extraction buffer: admin reviews AI-ingested quotes before they reach clients
RLS-driven access — clients only see buildings assigned to them
Core — Revenue Engine
Compliance, Heat Networks & Bulk Communal Gas
The paid services the site exists to sell. Regulatory compliance, heat-network scheme delivery, and bulk tendering of communal gas — each a chargeable, recurring engagement tied to a building.
Heat Networks (Metering & Billing) Regulations compliance — tariff design, transparency reports, and annual re-billing
Communal gas bulk tender — aggregate blocks and tender the gas portfolio to secure sub-market standing charges and unit rates
Compliance services: Heat Network Assurance, fair-cost rules, and director-facing compliance evidence packs
Recurring revenue: annual compliance retainer + tender fee on each competed contract (the platform’s core monetisation model)
Phase 2 — Next
Market Monitoring & Timing
Move from reactive to proactive procurement. Show clients when the market is favourable and when to go to tender.
Market index feed (gas / electricity forward rates) migrated from the Gas Tracker
Procurement Readiness score per building — favourable / monitor / action required
Automated market alerts to directors when the trigger window opens
Historical charting and contract-alignment logic on the Building detail page
Phase 3 — Soon
Budget Forecasting
Forecast next year’s energy budget before tendering. Turn procurement advice into financial advice.
Status quo vs. tendered-projection forecast per building
Auto-generated narrative ("market is 12% below your renewal projection…")
Quarterly proactive budget emails to directors and managing agents
Forecast engine = (AnnualUsage × CurrentRate) − (AnnualUsage × MarketRate)
Phase 3½ — In flight
Tiered Routing & Price Data Asset
Filter the experience by block size. Small blocks self-serve a quick price; medium and large blocks register — feeding a timestamped price dataset that compounds in value over time.
Size-based routing in the quote flow — small (≤25 flats) get a free instant price tool, large (76+) go straight to tender consultancy
Small blocks are lead generators — they populate the UK price-point dataset without high-touch cost
Medium / large blocks must register to unlock long-term benchmarking, building the audit trail that becomes the product
Every logged price becomes a longitudinal data point against future flexibility-market and decarbonisation decisions
Phase 4 — Future
Full Interaction Platform
Open up the platform to managing agents, brokers, and keen RTM directors running their own tenders — maximum monetisation.
Multi-tenant role management (admin / managing agent / broker / director)
Supplier bidding portal — quotes submitted directly into the platform
Approval workflows (draft → pending review → supplier review → awarded)
API-first supplier integration for close partners, bypassing email parsing
Cross-cutting principles
Decisions that run through every phase of the roadmap.
Review tool, not just a portal
Email-out / quote-in remains the default. Suppliers keep their workflow; the platform becomes the command centre, not another login they ignore.
Multiple charging models
Fixed consultation fee, percentage-of-savings, ongoing subscription, or embedded commission — applied per engagement on the Contract entity.
Audit trail as a product
Every invitation, quote, and comparison logged. Directors get a Compliance Report proving the tender was run fairly.
Transparent, consented data — not the big-agent playbook
Large managing agents (RMG, R&R, FirstPort) harvest block consumption data to run bulk tenders with no leaseholder sign-off and zero visibility into the deal. We do the opposite — blocks give their data willingly, watch the tender run, and see the quotes. Same procurement muscle, fully transparent. A game-changer differentiator.
