Is the purchase of office supplies a necessary evil at your company?  

This has been the characterization by many.  It seems like we spend a lot of money and never are quite sure we are getting the best deal.

Strategic Procurement Partners is a new firm created to assist companies in reducing their office supply expenses.  We've spent the past 13 years working in the industry providing the programs you're currently utilizing.  With this expertise, we have been able to provide services that target this commodity specifically.  We provide audit services, buying consortiums and consulting.  We've outlined our services in this site, yet recommend contacting us to schedule a short meeting where you can see the results first hand that we produce for our clients.
 

Audit Services

Many companies have gone to the marketplace and run competitive bids to secure a vendor which is most capable of providing the required services and lowest prices.  After negotiations and final clarification you've entered into a contract.  Relief....... we are finally done with a commodity and can move on.

If you find yourself in this situation, SPP's audit services are just what you need.

We evaluate your current spending history against the original terms and conditions of your contract.  Our goal is to find as many additional dollars in savings as possible.  SPP achieve verifiable savings using available market contracts as current baselines.

Once we know how much you can save, there are three options: 

	Have us negotiate with your current vendor to meet market conditions
	Change vendors to a pre-arranged consortium vendor
	Take your volume to the marketplace through an RFP

In either case, we split the savings.  One more thing, we track actual savings quarterly and invoice you for the savings split along with the documentation.
