Made for how energy should trade.
Built around the work on both sides of the deal.
Meet the market head on.
Structured work on both sides of the contract. Procurement teams and their advisors manage supplier bids; IPPs review demand against the portfolio they can offer.
Price the deals that are actually real.
- Start from sourced demand and your own portfolio.
Review opportunities from configured public issuer feeds or imported requests against your portfolio. Check the source, requirements and missing evidence before pursuing.
- See the whole request before you commit a price.
Review the available market, technology, capacity and timing requirements alongside your assets. Missing fields stay visible so you can resolve them before committing a price.
- Prepare an offer with its evidence attached.
Record asset-specific offer evidence, obtain an internal decision and prepare bid materials. Submit through the issuer's required channel and record the receipt.
- Keep the margin you earn.
Near Field charges for the software plan rather than a commission on your wins. Your team manages the buyer relationship and commercial terms.
Go to market with your team and advisors aligned.
- Start from your portfolio, not a blank form.
Load your sites and the markets they're in once. Every RFP you issue draws from that, so you're never rebuilding the same site list in a new spreadsheet.
- See renewals before they become emergencies.
Contract end dates across all your markets in one view, so you can decide what to bundle and when to go to market.
- Compare offers that were built to be compared.
Invite suppliers to submit structured bids, or record offers received elsewhere. Comparable quotes can be ranked; incomplete or unsupported pricing is flagged for review.
- Know exactly what you're paying and who you're paying it to.
Near Field's software fee is your plan. Supplier prices and any broker or advisor compensation remain separate commercial terms to review.
Your portfolio rules produce a repeatable result.
Portfolio screening is deterministic: your criteria, your weights, your thresholds. Optional AI extraction, narrative and numeric bid rankings are separate tools for review.
- 01Your rubric, as rules.
Bind criteria to recorded geography, technology, nameplate capacity and estimated COD. Set weights and thresholds; unbound criteria remain unassessed.
- 02The scoring runs.
Portfolio screening applies explicit rules to the selected opportunity and assets. The same source values and rubric produce the same result; missing evidence stays incomplete.
- 03The write-up is drafted.
Optional AI tools extract document evidence, draft summaries and suggest separate bid rankings. Those suggestions require review and do not change the deterministic portfolio calculation.
Buyer requirements and your own commercial policy answer different questions. Near Field keeps procurement evaluation, portfolio screening and offer qualification separate.
AI rankings are suggestions for review. Your team records the decision; configured procurement gates and IPP offer evidence checks govern the next step.
The gaps often matter more than the number. Unassessed criteria stay incomplete, and unresolved required evidence blocks the relevant approval or award.
Why the usual options don’t fit.
When an advisor is paid through supplier commissions, review how that compensation affects the quoted rate and contract term. Near Field's software plan is separate from any broker or advisor fees.
Quoting, supplier panels and commission tracking serve an advisor's workflow. Buyers and asset owners also need access to the requirements, evidence and decisions that affect their portfolio.
A large sourcing process can bring more administration than a small team needs. The useful test is whether the people responsible for energy can prepare, review and act on their own portfolio.
Documents and deadlines are only part of the work. Energy decisions also depend on load profiles, market eligibility, delivery terms and contract renewal dates.
Your team should be able to retain its advisors and still own a clear, structured record of the decision.
Keep both sides of the decision in view.
Procurement brings customer sites, supplier invitations, received bids and customer proposals into one workflow. Invited suppliers can respond to that structured RFP through their portal, while brokers and advisors manage the customer relationship.
Origination brings public issuer opportunities and imported requests together with an IPP’s assets, rubric rules and offer evidence. These workspaces share a platform; issuing a procurement RFP does not automatically publish it to IPP portfolios.
And because pricing is tied to your portfolio rather than your deals or your headcount, the platform has no stake in the outcome. Its only job is to make the process work.
