A brief overview of how Choice Procurement works alongside your business to help reduce costs and improve your purchasing process.
Stage 1 - Free of charge Purchasing Review
To help us gain an understanding of your present purchasing status we undertake an initial purchasing review of your business, identifying your indirect spend and areas where savings can be made. This review will cover the following:
- Products and services purchased, their suitability to your requirements and their cost.
- Supplier performance and their suitability to your requirements.
- Present purchasing processes, from requisition to payment; who buys, where they buy, what they buy, what price they buy and who authorises the purchase.
- Invoicing requirements – how many are received and in what format.
- Consumables and required maintenance (printers, copiers, etc).
Stage 2 - Our Proposal
With the information gathered from the review we will outline your present purchasing practices, suppliers used, and spend within each commodity area.
Our proposal will highlight areas of your purchasing process we feel could be more efficient, and detail areas of cost reduction.
Stage 3 - Implementation
We will work with your team to roll out the proposed changes, ensuring all your
staff is comfortable with the new procedures. This will include implementation
of:
- Identified savings
- Procurement control
- Best procurement practices for your business to reduce time and cost
- Staff training to up skill staff on new processes, products and systems
Stage 4 – Purchasing Support
After our initial consultation we give you the opportunity for us to remain in partnership with you to continue developing your understanding on best procurement practices, as well as helping to source new products and suppliers and provide an independent view of your purchasing.
