Energy bill relief scheme

We would like to remind schools and trusts that they do not need to do anything to be eligible for the energy bill relief scheme as the discount is automatic. Please be aware that if a school receives a message requesting bank details or other information it could be a scam, and you should report it online

The ESFA will continue to update the buying for schools guidance on energy with the market and commercial position, along with practical advice on exiting existing contracts and entering new ones.

The get help buying for schools service will be able to offer support to schools switching and entering new contracts. Schools can request advice and guidance for your procurement online.
