THE group that bulk buys central heating boil for the Vale village of Sedgeberrow will now be able to offer better deals thanks to new software from Wychavon District Council.
Sedgeberrow Sustainable and Manageable Energy (SeSaME) has been hosting a basic bulk oil buying group, centred around a single supplier, since 2010. This has enabled fairly consistent, reduced prices and has provided a modest dividend that could be used for the group’s wider administrative costs.
"SeSaME is now about to utilise new software, recommended by Wychavon District Council that will allow us to launch a new online buying system," said club manager Mike Parker. "Its new title will be the SeSaME Oil Buying Club. SeSaME knows the new software will enable us to obtain even more competitive prices from a range of oil suppliers. All for a similar level of administrative effort.
"It also means we can now offer club membership to residents of Ashton under Hill, Aston Sommerville, Beckford, Dumbleton, Hinton and Wormington, thus increasing the club’s buying power and prompting more competitive prices. The better prices and any dividends can then be shared with village neighbours."
