When it comes to purchasing... size matters. The Independent Buyers consortium is made of several
hundred small and medium sized businesses, with a total buying power in excess of £1billion.
By working together, they have saved a substantial amount of money with minimal effort.
Whilst all businesses are different a large proportion of their overhead purchases are common
and it is in these areas that the consortium really adds value. Over 100 competitive discount
agreements have been negotiated for all the common non-strategic purchase categories.
Members contract directly with the suppliers under the basis of joint price agreements which
are made freely available to as part of our sophisticated desktop Purchase Agreements Directory.
The consortium is one of the largest energy buying pools in the country and as membership is
provided for a modest fee Independent Buyers does not take a share of any savings made nor
does it needs to take payments from suppliers. Plus, all fees are covered by a comprehensive
no-win/no-fee guarantee.
Independent Buyers is pleased to work in partnership with several trade associations,
industry support bodies and venture capital businesses by running Buying Groups
exclusively for their members.
Several large multi-site businesses have benefitted from our discounted prices by
subscribing to the Group Deal Programme which is tailored for their specific needs
including, in some cases full hands on Active Cost Management and invoice consolidation.
To help you decide whether joining the consortium is right for your business you can
attend one of our free regular briefings or simply contact us and we would be happy
to answer your questions.
