Procurement

Our overall objective is to obtain the very best value from the purchase of all bought in goods and services required to sustain and develop a client’s business. We believe that ‘Value’ means far more than achieving just the lowest or initial purchase price and must include such considerations as quality, reliability, logistics, operating/administrative costs, maintenance and supply security

To ensure and achieve this ‘Value objective’ we :

1.	Ensure that all goods purchased are of appropriate quality and suitable for purpose.
2.	Focus on minimising the total cost of acquisition taking into account factors that contribute to the ‘whole life cost’ of purchase.
3.	Set up and maintain commercial agreements, which will guarantee supply and delivery when, and where, required by the business.
4.	Effectively and efficiently manage the total supply chain.
