Consultiv Utilities Announced as Official Energy Partner for Care Circle Network

Care Circle Network is proud to announce Consultiv Utilities as our official featured partner for everything energy, supporting the next phase of the Care Circle Energy Reset Consortium.

As energy costs continue to challenge providers, this partnership brings specialist procurement expertise, transparency and sector-focused support to care organisations across the UK.

From Real Pressure to Collective Power

At Care Circle Network, we launched the Energy Reset series because provider feedback was clear and urgent.

In Real Voices, Real Pressure, care operators described electricity and gas costs rising dramatically, with some homes facing 94% or even 132% increases.

Energy has moved from a background cost to one of the most exposed operational risks facing the care sector.

2017 year Consultiv Utilities was founded
25+ business energy suppliers across its panel
5,900+ customers supported with utility management
22,800 meter points managed across customer sites

Why Consultiv Utilities?

Consultiv Utilities is a specialist business energy broker that takes a genuinely consultative approach.

Rather than simply comparing tariffs, the team assesses a provider’s wider operational picture, negotiates bespoke contracts and supports organisations with visibility, transparency and control.

This is exactly the kind of support care providers have been asking for: clear advice, practical oversight and energy strategies that reflect the realities of 24/7 operations.

This is not a generic brokerage. Consultiv Utilities understands why a rushed renewal or unclear pass-through clause can quietly erode margins.

Care Circle Energy Reset

Built Around the Realities of Care Provision

Care homes and healthcare settings face energy pressures unlike most other businesses. They operate around the clock, rely on high-demand equipment and must maintain safe, comfortable environments for residents, staff and visitors.

Consultiv’s experience across healthcare and multi-site organisations makes the partnership especially relevant for care providers seeking better control over cost, compliance and sustainability.

Energy Procurement

Fixed and flexible procurement strategies tailored to consumption profiles and risk appetite.

Risk Management

Structured support to reduce exposure to market volatility and unclear contract terms.

Compliance Support

Guidance across ESOS, SECR, EPCs, MEPS, EPBD and net-zero planning.

Multi-Utility Oversight

Support across energy, water, waste and communications to reduce administrative burden.

“We start with understanding you, your business, your current energy contract arrangements and how you’d like to control your costs in the future.”

Consultiv Utilities approach

Turning Pressure into Practical Progress

Consultiv’s timing could not be better. The care sector is navigating wholesale volatility, geopolitical shocks and rising operational costs at the same time as providers prepare for future fee negotiations and sustainability expectations.

Through the Care Circle Energy Reset Consortium, members will gain priority access to Consultiv’s expertise without adding to the workload of already stretched teams.

Proactive energy management is no longer optional. It is how forward-thinking providers protect quality, retain staff and strengthen financial resilience.

Energy Reset Consortium

What Consortium Members Can Expect

Bespoke Procurement

What This Means for Providers

As Care Circle Network’s featured energy partner, Consultiv Utilities will appear across upcoming Energy Reset content, providing practical insight, healthcare case studies and guidance tailored to care operations.

They will also be the go-to specialist for Consortium members seeking trusted, transparent support with procurement, oversight and long-term energy planning.

Energy will remain a pressure in 2026. But with the right partner, it no longer has to be a threat. It can become a managed, visible and revenue-protecting part of care operations.
