You’ll be hard pressed to find a company taking on new customers at a lower unit cost than you’re currently paying. The price cape price (variable tariff) is still cheapest in the market at the moment even with it rising next week from £12xx to £19xx for an average household.
If you value certainty then getting a fixed rate at or around +15% of current variable price isn’t a bad shout for a year, means you’ll be protected from Octobers price increase as well.
Best bet at the moment though is to try and reduce elec usage any way you can. Sunak announced VAT cuts on green home improvements in yesterdays budget so may be worth exploring.

So, I'm on the Bulb variable tariff. Victorian end of terrace and washing machine seemingly on 24/7 means a fair bit of usage.
Should I just stick with them? I put it through a price comparison site and everything seemed to come out way more expensive but not sure whether that is comparing pre or post price rise prices.
As an aside, I went on Bulb and saw this suggesting I reduce my direct debit. Did it in about 10 seconds but only saw it through going on the website.
