Conference Workshop 1a

1A Procurement clubs: how effective are they?

There are a now a large number of Procurement Clubs in use across the Housing sector.  These clubs should encourage:-

  • Cost Savings
  • Streamlined Processes
  • Better contract management

as a minimum.  However, this session will delve a little deeper and try to understand:-

  • What the tangible benefits of procurement clubs are
  • How much saving they bring to the end user
  • The average cost for 'taking part'
  • Tyical pitfalls of buying from a procurement club

And also, what we can learn from other sectors where nationwide buying clubs are desperately trying to be introduced to elicit significant cost savings.
