How do we think Global Purchasing Solutions can help you?

Global coverage

It perhaps goes without saying that our objective is to save you money. But, as a lean company, where we score over others is the unique nature of our structure. In addition to UK coverage, we also have an extensive global network of Associates who have years of experience in purchasing within international markets. These include Western and Eastern Europe, USA, the Far East and India. People are available ‘on-the-spot’ to handle local supply arrangements along with inspection and shipment if required.

It is important to note that where a professional purchasing department is already present, we are happy to work alongside as ‘extra pairs of hands’.

Special projects

Perhaps your current buyers are over-stretched and require help to investigate a particular area such as a capital replacement project; heating fuels; utilities contract or any amount of other ‘specials’ for which there never seems time to accomplish an ‘easy’ win. Perhaps you are thinking of moving to another area, or into a diverse market, and need some appraisal of supply chain possibilities.

Interim Management / Staff cover

Temporary staff at all levels can be expensive when hired through agencies. We can help with long or short-term cover at affordable rates. GPS will make available personable, reliable people with relevant experience.

No saving, no fee survey

At Global Purchasing Solutions we believe we are able to maximise your purchasing achievement without causing disruption to you and your organisation. We are willing to survey specific areas in confidence and at no cost, on the basis that savings achieved will be shared. If we cannot show a benefit we will walk away and you are no worse off, although after such a health-check you will be happy in the knowledge that your current practices cannot be improved.

No add-on costs

Whilst various global associates may be activated on your behalf, you only pay the charges agreed with Global Purchasing Solutions at the onset of any contract.

Build your own package

Terms may be discussed to suit individual needs and budgets. Basically, we will talk over your requirements and then evaluate the cost of delivering a suitable ‘package’ to fulfil your needs. We are happy to work on a ‘shared savings’ basis where appropriate, or an agreed fee per day, or an overall rate for the job. The key aim is to shape it to meet your requirements.
