Consolidated procurement delivers public sector savings
CSA Waverley, is urging budget-hit public sector organisations – including the recently liberated NHS Trusts, to rationalise their technology purchasing processes, by employing a consolidated approach to achieve best value purchases. Consolidating the supply chain will also significantly improve public sector purchasing efficiencies and reduce overall costs.
CSA Waverley Director, Steve Nicholls said: “In this tough, volatile, climate, one area that continues to be a major problem for public sector organisations is IT procurement. Too much time is spent managing suppliers, comparing prices, undertaking procurement administration and invoicing. These organisations must streamline or consolidate procurement processes to save time, money and reduce purchasing risks – whilst achieving the best prices.”
CSA Waverley, in partnership with The Government Procurement Service, provides cost effective, sustainable IT procurement solutions by consolidating and managing the IT supply chain on behalf of public sector organisations. As well as ensuring the most competitive deals, the company manages the entire end-to-end procurement process – from tender, purchase to delivery, implementation and maintenance.
CSA Waverley use economies of purchasing scale to deliver consistently better prices and value for customers. By outsourcing this task, also saves public sector organisations time and money, whilst liberating their internal resources to focus on core strategies and IT development - without making redundancies.
Nicholls adds, “Consolidated purchasing is a proven way of managing multiple suppliers and should not be seen as a risk but as a reward. The returns can be considerable, as more organisations enjoy cashable and non-cashable savings that help maximise internal resources and overheads. The key to success is finding a procurement partner who can demonstrate quality and an innovative approach – this will make the difference.”
