The increased buying power of Collaborative Purchasing is a significant cost management option for start-up Irish businesses. With over 14 years experience in purchasing and supply chain for various large organisations, I have now set up a business which manages Collaborative Purchasing Tenders, which acheive better prices for good and services, than an individual business can negotiate.
The concept is simple.
e.g. We get as many businesses as possible looking for Commercial Insurance. My company consolidates these requirements and runs one multi-contract tender where one provider wins all the business. This provides us with leverage to negotiate significant cost reductions.
The Collaborative Purchasing Model can be used on any spend category - Company Cars, Packaging, Transport, Utilities, ICT, Corporate Travel etc etc.
Our focus is on getting Value For Money for our clients, not just the lowest price.
I have started a Collaborative Purchasing Group on IGO people. If youre interested why not join my group and lets work together to get Irish Businesses out of this recession, and make Irish products/services a competitive option internationally.
