Very few companies tell existing customers of new tarrifs. It may also be
tied in with ticking the box to stop mailings of "other services and
offers that you may be interested in".

The _only_ way of knowing which supplier is cheaper is if you know your
annual consumption of Gas/Electricity in kW. The better utility
suppliers will have web sites where records of their customers meter
readings can be viewed for the past few years.

Or look on old bills were all the information required to make a
comparision can be found. The cost per unit meter readings, standing
charges (hidden or open).
