Group Purchasing Scheme

What is it?
baba have recently developed a Group Purchasing Scheme in the Sparkbrook, Sparkhill, and Tyseley area of Birmingham. All 2800 businesses in the area can benefit from discounts on goods and services they need to purchase. Services like electricity, gas and telephones are being targeted first. However, other services like travel, vehicle maintenance, and Internet connection will follow. Businesses that have something in common with other businesses in the area will be asked to identify their special needs and then suppliers will be targeted for substantial discounts. The scheme will negotiate on the businesses behalf and reduce their costs through bulk purchasing.	The Group Purchasing Scheme has agreements with major companies which any business in the area can take advantage of. Local businesses will also benefit by not having to negotiate with large companies and can avoid sales calls from suppliers that are not in the scheme. The savings should pile up to put the area at an advantage. Regular meetings and newsletters will keep you informed of the latest suppliers to join the scheme and the discounts they offer.

Members Benefits	Suppliers Benefits
Members of the scheme benefit in a number of obvious ways and one or two not so obvious ones. Members initially get discounts offered by suppliers. In this way real benefits are obtained by the members straightaway. Members do not have to negotiate with the suppliers directly because that is done by Group Purchasing Scheme. The members can decide which suppliers would be most useful to their business. But, services used every day like electricity and telephones are good discounts for all businesses. Members have meetings where they meet each other as well as suppliers. The best business contacts are made in this way. Members get to hear about other interesting business activities through the members magazine.	Suppliers have a great opportunity to gain business in the local area without negotiating with individual businesses. They can attract 2800 potential customers by making one telephone call. Suppliers offer a discount because the GPS is effectively a bulk buyer. Sales staff for the supplier can be reduced because the GPS deal with it for the supplier. Members can become suppliers too and get two bites of the cherry. If you want to become a supplier or you have a business in the local area and you want to join the Group Purchasing Scheme complete the application form.
