CAN WE GO A STEP FURTHER AND WHAT IS FULLY MANAGED PURCHASING SUPPORT?

WE OFFER A FULLY MANAGED PURCHASING SUPPORT SERVICE FOR YOUR BUSINESS. YOUR ACCOUNT IS MANAGED BY AN EXPERIENCED TEAM MEMBER WHO WILL DISCUSS YOUR REQUIREMENTS WITH YOU AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS.

WE RE-NEGOTIATE DEALS WITH YOUR CURRENT AND POTENTIAL SUPPLIERS  AND THIS ENSURES THAT THE PRICES YOU PAY REFLECT THE BEST AVAILABLE IN THE CURRENT MARKETPLACE. WE REGULARLY BENCHMARK YOUR SUPPLIERS, REVIEW TENDERS AND CROSSCHECK AGAINST ALTERNATIVE SUPPLIERS. YOUR ACCOUNT MANAGER WILL REVIEW YOUR PORTFOLIO WITH YOU WITHIN AN AGREED TIMEFRAME.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

YOU CONTINUE TO PAY YOUR SUPPLIERS DIRECTLY. WE PROVIDE YOU WITH FULL REPORTING WITH REGULAR UPDATES. YOU CAN TRACK YOUR MONTHLY SAVINGS, REVIEW PRODUCT PRICE MOVEMENTS AND ACCESS TURNOVER REPORTS SHOWING TOTAL SPEND TO DATE WITH SUPPLIERS. THE SERVICE IS UNDERPINNED WITH FACE-TO-FACE CONSULTATIONS, SITE VISITS AND COACHING ON BEST PRACTICE WITHIN THE MARKETPLACE. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE COST OF OUR SERVICES IS A SMALL OVERHEAD TO CONSIDER WHEN COMPARED TO THE SAVINGS THAT CAN BE MADE. THE CATERING SUPPLY CHAIN HAS MANY RISKS, AND MOST CLIENTS DON’T HAVE THE TIME OR EXPERTISE TO MANAGE IT EFFICIENTLY. THE MARKET IS CONTINUALLY CHANGING AND CONSIDERABLE SAVINGS CAN BE MADE IN THE LONG RUN WHEN THIS IS MANAGED EFFICIENTLY. PROCUREMENT SUPPORT ENSURES THAT YOU BENEFIT FROM REDUCED COSTS WITHOUT COMPROMISING QUALITY.
