Price control
Few businesses have the resource or expertise to manage and monitor price changes and market conditions. This inevitably leads to price creep. Unless you are actively monitoring the products that you are buying, and every three months asking for competitive tenders, the likelihood is that you are paying too much. It is impractical for most managers to be able to do this and quite often an individual business does not have the negotiating power required to drive down price. However IDP will give you confidence that you are receiving the best price currently available in the market place.
IDP is in a unique position as we are auditing both business units and large group purchases on a daily basis, giving us a unique insight and a competitive negotiating advantage. We are frequently faced with managers who believe that they are purchasing well - IDP can either confirm that is the case or open the door to even greater savings.
After we have had the opportunity to audit your current pricing and review products purchased, you will receive a savings forecast that could allow you to start saving immediately. With the peace of mind that in the background there will be a team of procurement experts monitoring and constantly reviewing the purchasing trends of the IDP clients.
IDP Suppliers
IDP has an unrivalled reputation within the industry for providing exceptional prices from highly regarded suppliers who are quite often the market leader for the services that they provide. Only after rigorous reference checking and quality control examination would we even consider listing an IDP approved supplier. With this peace of mind you know that if you are already using an approved IDP supplier that you purchasing with a high level of traceability from a leading UK supplier, who has committed to offering IDP customers exceptional prices. If however you are considering IDP and do not currently use an approved IDP supplier then you can with confidence and without fear know that these suppliers are providing exceptional discounts and the service to back this up.
Supplier discounts
We would carefully manage the transfer of the IDP discounted pricing to you from your existing suppliers ensuring that you retain business continuity without inconvenience to your frontline operators. Helping you every step of the way would be your local IDP customer service manager. If after receiving our detailed audit you decided to trial new suppliers we would ensure a smooth and stress free conversion. We pride ourselves on providing face to face service and our local customer service managers will be on hand at all times to continually assist and liaise between IDP suppliers and yourself.
Savings
IDP has an exceptional track record of identifying savings on frequently purchased items. You may be surprised at the level of savings that we can achieve on your behalf. Quite often our audit report leads to independent businesses going back to their current supplier and questioning why they are paying as much as 50% more than the price IDP can offer. In the main this is because the supplier is not being monitored or managed, price checked or questioned. When you use an approved IDP supplier you will have total peace of mind that IDP is managing the suppliers rather than the supplier managing you.
There is always the need to view every business as an individual and, if our current range of suppliers or products is not right for you, we would offer to facilitate a bespoke tender to a range of suppliers, in accordance with the UK procurement guide to managing tenders. As a member of IDP we would provide this service at no cost to you.
