Whether it's energy, stationery, PPE, cleaning products, blue roll, packaging, or other everyday consumables, rising costs continue to put pressure on already squeezed margins.
Large organisations often secure better deals because they buy in volume. Smaller businesses rarely have that advantage.
But what if they did?
Imagine a group of businesses coming together to combine their purchasing power. Individually, your spend may not move the dial. Collectively, it could unlock discounts, improved service levels, and commercial terms that simply aren't available when buying alone.
It's a simple concept:
More buying power = better buying power.
At Barnacle Procurement, we're interested in exploring whether there is an appetite within the Professionals UK community to create a collaborative buying group. This could cover common expenditure categories such as energy, office supplies, consumables, PPE, waste management and other frequently purchased goods and services.
The question is straightforward:
