Oil Purchase Cooperative
Information about the oil purchase cooperative
In 2015, Tate Oil agreed to supply heating oil to members of the West of Ouse Oil Syndicate (WOOS) covering the villages of Marton cum Grafton, Ouseburn, Whixley, Dunsforth and Green Hammerton.
Members of the syndicate can order oil, at 3.95 p/litre above Platts price + VAT, at any time during the year (there is a December surcharge) with a 10 working days maximum delivery. The invoice price is based on the price the day before delivery. [Platts price is the standard price at which oil is purchased by suppliers such as Tate Oil. Obviously, this price can fluctuate.]
The minimum order volume is 500 litres and notice of delivery is be sent by text if you provide a mobile phone number. The agreement requires a direct debit between you and Tate Oil and payment is taken 14 days after delivery.
Who can take advantage?
Anyone who lives within the parish of Marton cum Grafton or the other parishes that make up WOOS.
What are the advantages?
The main advantage is that we enjoy lower prices for heating oil than we would otherwise achieve individually.
A secondary advantage is that a relatively small quantity of 500 litres can be purchased without incurring the normal price penalty. This means you don’t have to wait until your tank is nearly empty to get the best price; your tank could be topped up six times a year if you wish, as long as you take a minimum of 500 litres.
