FREE advice on getting more from your purchasing, plus a 10% discount from early years at The Consortium at Nursery World 2011
February 2011
early years from The Consortium, the one stop shop for nurseries and pre-schools in the UK, is offering a FREE purchasing review to visitors at The Nursery World Show to help them get more from their purchasing.
The Nursery World Show, which will be held at the Business Design Centre in London on 11 and 12 February 2011, is the biggest event in the UK offering practical help and information for early years' practitioners and managers in the public, private and voluntary sectors.
As early years from The Consortium offers the most comprehensive range of supplies and services in the sector and has 40 years experience serving organisations delivering public services, they have extensive expertise in supply chain management and sourcing the best value solutions to meet their customers’ needs. They can help nursery managers analyse their current spending and provide recommendations and strategies to help them get best value, saving both time and money. Their unique FREE Purchasing Review identifies exactly where and how savings can be made.
The process involves reviewing typical spend by supplier and identifying any regularly purchased key products to build up an overall procurement picture and see where savings can be made. After clarifying key purchasing requirements, that is the products that are business critical and where brand is important, they can recommend how best value can be achieved through a combination of service, product and price. They also look for efficiencies through supply chain consolidation, either by achieving better pricing or by reducing the administrative burden of supplier management. Finally they develop an implementation plan that includes access to key business critical products and key brands as well as tangible results in terms of savings and efficiencies.
David Stanley, Brand Manager at early years from The Consortium said "This is a great opportunity to help Early Years settings identify real savings and benefits that could make a significant difference to their budgets and procurement."
