San Diego, CA, 29 April 2026: ReadyBid, a global provider of hotel RFP and hotel sourcing technology, today announced the launch of its new Hotel Energy Benchmarking Framework, designed to help enterprises compare hotel suppliers based on operational energy efficiency.

As sustainability becomes more integrated into procurement decisions, organizations are increasingly looking for measurable indicators that go beyond general ESG claims. Energy usage patterns can provide a clearer picture of how hotel suppliers operate and how efficiently resources are managed.

The new framework enables procurement teams to incorporate energy benchmarking directly into hotel sourcing evaluations.

Joseph Friedmann, President & CEO of ReadyBid, said measurable sustainability metrics are essential for informed decision-making.

“Organizations want more than broad sustainability statements,” Friedmann said. “Energy benchmarking provides a structured way to compare suppliers using tangible performance indicators.”

Using ReadyBid’s hotel RFP tool, procurement teams can request energy-related information from hotel suppliers during sourcing events. This may include efficiency initiatives, renewable energy adoption, or operational benchmarks.

The framework organizes this data into comparable metrics, helping organizations evaluate suppliers more consistently.

ReadyBid’s dashboards present benchmarking insights alongside hotel bidding data, enabling procurement teams to balance sustainability performance with pricing and service quality.

For multinational enterprises, this capability supports more consistent environmental evaluation across global travel programs.

The framework also encourages suppliers to improve operational efficiency to remain competitive in sourcing events.

“Measurement drives improvement,” Friedmann added. “When performance is benchmarked, organizations can make smarter procurement choices.”

ReadyBid expects energy benchmarking to become a more prominent consideration as sustainability reporting requirements continue evolving.
