Order Description
Currently the Rural Action Derbyshire scheme offers members the opportunity to take advantage of a bulk buying. Not everyone in the ‘off gas grid areas’, however, gas grid’ uses oil for fuel. Research the alternative fuel sources for solid fuel heating systems, taking into consideration the benefits of each fuel type, the cost and the feasibility of purchasing on a bulk buying system that could be administered in a similar way to the oil buying scheme.
Make recommendations and process map how an alternative fuel bulk buying scheme would operate.
Oil Buying Scheme Procedures
The secret to managing OBS is good record keeping. With a membership of approx. 325 members it is easy to lose track of what you have said to who and where each members is in the joining, ordering, renewing processes if you don’t log all phone calls / voicemails and a note as to when you responded.
A database manual is stored in the database folder on the OBS drive and a paper copy can be found in the general file.
Membership
OBS membership is now £20 for any member whether business, community organisation or individual.
When the scheme was first set up we used local coordinators to send in orders from their area. We no longer recruit new coordinators but have some existing ones who are happy to continue. Their membership is free of charge. A full list can be found on the database.
Handling an enquiry
1. Enquiries will come by email or telephone
2. Point out to members the pros and cons of joining the scheme.
• We save an average of 5ppl on the best price available on the internet – this covers the cost of membership on the first order
• Members need to be a little more organised about ordering, i.e. we only order once per month and so they can’t just call and get a delivery in a few days – they must plan ahead.
• They will not know the price in advance – suppliers need a firm order for us to be taken seriously and get a good deal.
• People who require a small or baby tanker should not join as we can’t get them a good deal. Only two suppliers in the county (Peak and Halso) operate this small tanker so we can’t ‘shop around’
