A deemed contract is normally in place when a customer moves into new premises and starts to consume gas and electricity without agreeing a contract with the current supplier. It also applies where an existing contract comes to an end and you don’t agree to a new tariff. The rates in deemed contracts are always considerably higher per kWh than if you agree a contract. The daily standing charge would also be considerably higher than normal. BCH will always contact you in advance of your current contract end date to make sure that your business doesn’t roll over onto deemed rates.
