North West Improvement and Efficiency Partnership

Procurement Consultancy

Background

An innovative new framework agreement within Buying Solutions’ consultancy services offering has been established to bring you specialist procurement support.

Delivered through buyingTeam, this unique spend data analysis service, aptly called buyingInsight, can help you improve procurement efficiency within your organisation.  By way of example, BuyingTeam was commissioned by the children’s charity NCH to undertake a full procurement review. Hard savings of £1.4m per annum were identified from a total reviewed spend of £12m.

Who can use the framework?

This framework agreement is open to all public sector bodies in the UK.
 

Key features and benefits of the framework

• Access to specialist procurement support.
• Additional savings can be achieved through a further discount of 20% on the standard rate for the BuyingInsight package up to 1st June 2007. 
• Allows the customer to improve procurement efficiency within their organisation.
• This fast, low cost service provides visibility of spend information in a form that purchasers can use to achieve saving targets.
• Customer reassurance regarding EU compliance and conformity to current legislation and the security of Government terms and conditions.
