How much does it cost?
Unlike other businesses in our market our fee is not based on a percentage of the savings identified which, in many cases, can be as much as 50%. By charging a capped fee this ensures we are able to consider quality of service for each supplier without having to opt for the cheapest. In many areas of spend, such as accountancy and legal services, this is absolutely essential. A capped fee also enables your school to take a much bigger share of any savings identified.
In addition to this we do not take commissions from our suppliers. This is so that we can remain completely independent and can confidently recommend the supplier best suited to your needs not ours; this could, of course, be the supplier you are already using.
Should you wish to retain our services for implementation of the audit findings we would be happy to discuss our fee which is dependent on the work required.
As members of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing we adhere to their Code of Professional Ethics ensuring we adopt an ethical purchasing policy.
