There are only a few days left before the National Charity Tender (NCT) closes on 21st August 2026.
If you're a charity or none profit organisation going out out of contract or your energy agreement is coming up for renewal, there's still time to speak with Utility Aid and discover how joining the National Chartity Tender (NCT) 2027 could help your organisation reduce energy costs and gain greater budget certainty.
The 2027 NCT basket is still open, and for many charities and not-for-profit organisations, this could represent one of the strongest opportunities in recent years to secure favourable energy pricing.
One of the key factors making this year's tender particularly attractive is the current shape of the wholesale energy market. Long-term wholesale prices are currently lower than short-term prices, creating a rare opportunity to secure a blended fixed rate through the 2027 basket that may not have been available in previous years and may not remain available for long. For organisations considering the NCT, this could make 2027 an especially advantageous time to participate.
More than 50 charities have already joined the 2027 basket, recognising the value of exploring collective purchasing at a time when energy markets remain unpredictable. The last few years have demonstrated just how quickly prices can change in response to global events, placing significant pressure on operational budgets. Securing a fixed contract while market conditions remain favourable can provide valuable protection against future volatility.
A conversation with one of Utility Aid's specialist energy advisers will help you understand exactly how the collective works, what savings participants typically achieve, and whether the NCT is the right fit for your organisation's circumstances. There is no obligation, and booking a call takes only a few minutes.
The booking window for 2027 NCT pricing conversations is now time limited and closes on 21 August. If you've been considering whether the National Charity Tender could benefit your organisation, now is the time to explore your options before the opportunity closes.
