Working with the 'Global Procurement Group' (GPG) - Our Spend Management Service

Southern Business Consulting

Welcome. If you are reading this you most likely want to improve efficiencies for you Company. We'd be delighted to assist.

Non Core

How would you like to have another pair of hands to organise reductions for you - WELL NOW YOU CAN - and for FREE too.

Statistics indicate that most companies spend an average 10% of annual turnover on non-core (indirect) spend. The GPG Spend Management Service, underwritten by GE Capital Bank offers up to 10.5% savings to our clients across a range of over 30 categories of non-core spend and, on this basis, can bring additional results directly to the bottom line - and virtually immediately too.

As an example, if your company had a turnover of £20 million, to achieve the same level of performance you would need to increase your turnover to £24.2 million. No easy task I'm sure you'll agree!

The GPG Spend Management Service is offered and delivered to you by our Consultancy. We are one of GPG’s licenced Consultants and we achieve these benefits at no cost to you, the client. Our fees are paid separately by our Suppliers for the account management that we provide. There is no direct cost for our consultancy to you - ever. We will never send you an invoice. Savings are delivered as credits against your next invoice, meaning the amount you pay is reduced month by month in line with spend.

The service also offers internal spend control via GE Capital’s purchase card (VISA) and optional access to web enabled ordering, enabling you to make huge additional savings by cutting out the time and costs of manual purchase order production (average cost of around £55 each) and improving cash flow with up to 40 days payment terms.

Additionally we have teamed up with the top companies who aim to reduce your carbon footprint though innovative solutions and technology.
