We focus on Ongoing Value, not just short term Price Cuts
What makes us different is that we are constantly monitoring and challenging supplier performance to ensure that value is not eroded over time. We communicate this performance information to our Members and encourage feedback on supplier service. This is the only way to optimise value for money. We stay with you, maintaining value for your company over time.
How it works:
Simply send us by post or email (pdf files) your latest 3 months copy invoices for those categories that you want us to review and which you are happy to switch supplier as long as we can prove significant cost savings.
We will then contact you to understand your requirements in greater detail to ensure that we have a level playing field when comparing prices and value.
Within 7 to 10 days, we email you the results of our tender, clearly showing you the cost savings that you will achieve by joining the BSA Consortium. If you like our results, we then recommend that the supplier visits you, to reassure you that they are a quality supplier. On joining the BSA Consortium you then start ordering from them to enjoy the savings, knowing that we are continually monitoring their service levels and keeping in touch with you for as long as your company is a Member.
BSA Consortium FAQs
The joining fee is £495 + VAT, but this fee is waived if your organisation utilises the BSA Consortium for two or more categories of supply, if you are an existing client through our Consultancy/Audit/Training Services or if you are a member of one of our Alliance Partners.
We earn a small fee from the suppliers but importantly are not tied to any one provider, thus remaining independent. The competing suppliers (two per category) are chosen after thorough audits and only remain partners by demonstrating ongoing value and service excellence. They are all capable of delivering throughout the UK.
Ultimately we recognise that you will only stay if you receive significant initial cost savings and ongoing value. We are confident that you will enjoy these benefits, so much so that we won't lock you into the BSA Consortium. You are free to leave at anytime without penalty charges.
BSA Consortium Client testimonial:
Shirag Shah, Kavis Ltd: "Joining the BSA Consortium seemed a great opportunity for us, being a small business with just over 10 employees,
to reduce our running costs in different areas without having to purchase the volumes of much larger businesses. Since becoming a member, we have
found the relationship with the BSA to be a pleasant and proactive one. They seem to be genuinely interested in saving our business money and are
also continually looking to increase benefits for their members, while consistently vetting the performance of the suppliers. This ensures that we
always get the best service for great value."
Roy Smith, Frank Marshall Estate Agency Group: "Joining the BSA Consortium has given us a 24% saving in our existing stationery & office supplies spend.
This is something we would never have achieved on our own as our buying power was limited. We have been very happy with the responsiveness and service
quality of the stationery supplier since the switch, and would recommend the service to others. We also like the fact that the BSA Consortium is keeping
watch over the service levels to make sure that the supplier doesn't get complacent."
