Community oil buying scheme
Helping our community save money on oil
West of England Rural Network operates a NOT FOR PROFIT Community Oil Buying Scheme to help people in our area save money on the cost of their heating oil. We do this by combining orders from all over our area, then once a month, approaching multiple suppliers for their best price upon our bulk order and placing that order with the supplier tendering the lowest negotiated price.
Unlike most other oil-buying syndicates, we do not charge any commission. This often makes us a more attractive sale to the supplier, who in turn will often offer us that slightly better a price. We pass that saving directly on to our members.
Once we have negotiated the price, we let you know approximately when the delivery will be, who the supplier is and how much your delivery will cost. The supplier will then start making deliveries throughout a two-week window. If you need to be in for your delivery, just let us know and we will make sure the supplier contacts you before delivery. Your oil is then delivered and you pay the supplier directly at the price agreed by us.
