Heat Light & Power

Deregulation of supply markets in the last decade has brought a wealth of different tariff options and reduced costs, but has also increased the risk of making the wrong choice.

Whether you use:

• gas
• electricity
• coal
• heating oils or LPG

to heat and light your premises, are a Highways Authority using electricity for public lighting or whether you want to procure energy from renewable sources to meet your environmental objectives, ESPO provides a professional procurement service to help you secure the best deal for you.

As an additional "value added" service, ESPO also provides gas suppliers with a single centralised billing point which, combined with electronic commerce, enables us to secure even better terms on behalf of customers and subject suppliers' invoices to a high degree of validation to identify errors.

Transport Fuels

For a single vehicle or a large fleet, whatever your refuelling strategy - direct supply into your tanks, on-road refuelling using cards, or a combination of these, ESPO will be pleased to help you identify and procure the optimum solution for your requirements.

Direct Supply into Bulk Storage

Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel or Petrol, Lead Replacement or Unleaded Petrol or Aviation Fuel, delivered in loads of 500 - 30,000 litres direct into customer's own storage tanks.

On-Road Refuelling: Fuelcards

Fuelcards provide customers with a choice of bunkered and conventional forecourt refuelling dispensing with the need for cash transactions and maintaining your own storage facilities . Bunkered refuelling, for the larger diesel fleet, offers forecourt diesel at commercial prices giving a combination of on-road refuelling convenience combined with contract price competitiveness.

Conventional fuelcards are ideal for smaller fleets, school and college minbuses, and 'emergency' purchases.

Fuelcards offer:

• secure and convenient methods of payment
• choice of purchase options encoded on cards
• competitive pricing with discounts off pump or national average prices
• access to a comprehensive network of stations
• flexible pricing options and payment terms
• interest free credit
• invoices that comply with all VAT requirements
• comprehensive management information

Aviation Fuel

ESPO provides a service to Air Support Units in the procurement of aviation fuel for helicopters including, if required, provision of storage facilities, tank maintenance and staff training.

Alternative Fuels for Reduced Emissions

If you are considering alternatives to conventional fuels as part of a refuelling strategy aimed at reducing vehicle emissions and increasing sustainability, see our section on green energy.

Managed Services

In response to the increasing focus on energy consumption and the need to reduce harmful emissions, many organisations are looking for external assistance with energy management activities, including site surveys, identifying energy efficiency measures, feasibility studies, staff training, or a complete energy management service. ESPO’s experience makes us ideally placed to assist you in the procurement of "outsourced" services.
