Procurement Support

What are the benefits?

Many clients struggle to manage their catering suppliers effectively due to a lack of time or internal expertise. As a result, food operations often pay more than they need for the products and services they purchase. PIP provides expertise and resources to search for the best products at the most competitive prices, achieving long-term cost savings.

How does procurement support work?

PIP work with the operation to understand requirements, regularly benchmark suppliers, assess market trends, review costs, negotiate deals and ensure the client is paying the best prices available. We also regularly review the client’s portfolio to verify the quality of products and services from suppliers. Our service helps operators find the most competitive prices and ensure their suppliers are meeting the desired standards.

Next Steps

You will receive regular updates and face-to-face consultations as part of the procurement support service. These will be accompanied by site visits and coaching on best practices in the market. We will also share their acquired knowledge and experience on an ongoing basis to help improve procurement processes and maximise cost savings. On-going support and expertise helps operations to manage their suppliers more effectively.

Great Value

Procurement support is a cost-effective option for operations who want to maintain the responsibility of paying their suppliers directly. The service provides full reporting, allowing you to track monthly savings, review price movements and access reports on total spend with suppliers. This is a cost-effective way to manage purchasing and track their spending, while still retaining control over the payment process.
