INTRODUCING SOLUS WATER UNLIMITED

Water procurement doesn't get any simpler

The water sector is plagued with inconsistent pricing driven by armies of independent sales reps who can resell water services anyway they see fit.  This can result in two identical businesses with identical water requirements paying vastly different amounts for their water supply.  This makes it very difficult to know what a good deal looks like.  


That is why we have launched Solus Unlimited, the first subscription based water & energy procurement service for small businesses.  Subscribe to one of our Solus Unlimited plans and access base rates for your business water supply!


What is Base rate?


Base rate is the rate at which brokers, TPIs and water intermediary companies access and price water supply contracts via a Licensed Provider (LP).  They add an uplift or commission to the base cost which can vary massively from one company to another.  In the case of suppliers, a retail fee or margin is added.  Solus Unlimited offers small business owners access to the base rate with no uplift meaning you access big savings on your water supply contract.  Bare Bones pricing with 1st class service always!


How much does a Solus Water Subscription cost?


Solus Water Water Unlimited costs just £150 per 36 month term which is less than 14p a day!  For any additional sites, you can add to your subscription for just £80 per 36 month term!



With Solus Unlimited, you can expect to save anything up to 50% on your watersupply costs.  With the addition of a free water audit to help your business identify overcharges and cost reduction measures, you could more than half your water & waste supply costs in as little as 6 week or less!  


With hundreds of businesses already enjoying a simpler and more affordable way of choosing their water supplier, drop us a line or pop in to one of our offices and find out how we can help your business with a full bespoke water quote and recommendations report.  Stop overpaying for your business water supply today.

Why pay more for the same water?  Reduce your water supplier costs today with the Co-Op.


In partnership with Everflow Utilities & Scottish Water Business Stream,  we are able to offer truly transparent Water & Waste services for businesses of all sizes and requirements.  No more difficult to understand bills or hidden charges. We are able to offer water supply tariffs as below:


Default Minus Tariff - No advanced billing


Water and waste charges procured on a tariff where we agree a discount off the wholesale default cost.  This tariff offers significant savings against the standard tariff as well as the following benefits:


  • No upfront billing - many suppliers charge as much as 3 payment upfront distorting the true value of savings.  
  • Arrears invoicing - pay for your water once you have used it and not in advance using estimated consumption.


Wholesale Plus Tariff - fix your water retail costs


All water, waste and drainage is charged at wholesale rates plus a fixed monthly retail fee irrespective of how much water you use.  This ensures you know exactly where your money is going and that the supplier element of the bill is fully fixed.   Many water suppliers build their fee into a unit rate meaning that if your water usage goes up, so does your retail fee.  Keep in control with easy to understand bills and excellent service. 


Tariff:  Wholesale Cost plus fixed Retail Fee from £100 per year (dependant on usage and meter size)  To view the current Scottish Water Wholesale tariff, click here.

More than one water supply?  Then consolidated multi site billing is for you!  One bill, one monthly payment, one easy to understand invoice and multi site discounts.

Wholesale Plus Tariffs - what are they?

Scottish Water Supplier Supply Wholesale Plus Model.

A simpler, more transparent way to pay for your business water and waste services

At the Cooperative, we are always looking for ways to help our customers secure affordable & fit for purpose utility and business essential products and services.  A big part of achieving this for our members is to provide fully transparent tariffs.  This means no hidden costs or broker commissions and means you know exactly where your money is going.  The Wholesale Plus tariff is a perfect fit for this ensuring you know exactly how much goes to the Wholesaler (e.g. Scottish Water) and how much goes to the supplier (often referred to as a retailer or Licensed Provider).  It also allows us to fully fix the retail fee for the entire duration of your contract unlike other suppliers where the retail and wholesale fee is wrapped into a unit rate.  


Wholesale Plus tariffs may not be suitable for all business types.  Speak to your advisor to discuss in more detail.
