Repeat v One-Off Orders
All repeat buys will be added to the “core list” from the outset and will enjoy significant unit price reductions, typically 10-35% less than your previous prices.
These prices are negotiated at a rate that only our members can enjoy.
For non-repeat items that are rarely ordered, you will be supplied with a supplier catalogue that provides product and price information.
The prices in this catalogue, whilst competitively priced, are further discounted for Business Bank UK members.
The approved suppliers both review the spend patterns periodically.
If it appears that purchases that are assumed to be one-offs become more regular, they will be moved to the core list, thus reducing the price in the process.
Switch Selling Programme
Many businesses focus only on providing savings on core lines. Our strategic supplier’s proactive approach to you will ensure we provide ongoing cost savings for our customers on non-core lines, as demonstrated below.
We are pleased to offer all members this unique ‘cost-saving package’ on non-core lines as part of the overall partnership approach.
Many end-users do not have detailed product knowledge and, therefore, do not always make the most favourable purchasing decision on behalf of their business.
The strategic supplier can act as the ‘expert buyer’ on your behalf. Their system proactively inspects each order and checks whether they can offer an alternative product that offers similar quality at a lower cost.
They can swap this over on the client’s order at their discretion and send back an acknowledgement detailing the products that will be despatched.
This proactive approach can typically save more than 40% of your non-contract spend.
