Purchasing Support Services draws on an extensive network of supply sources,
bringing together a critical combination of product availability with
competitive pricing in an innovative
and efficient purchasing process.
Our initiatives, applied across numerous trade and industry disciplines,
result in benefits to our clients that are significant, constructive and
accompanied by measurable
financial rewards.
Through the provision of strategic support, PSS can enhance almost every
aspect of a client’s food and related products procurement needs.
One of the questions we are most frequently asked is; “How much
disruption will there be to
my business in appointing PSS and what might go wrong?”
We are very experienced in the implementation of supply
chain arrangements, in fact in most instances you won’t
even have to change your suppliers. If however any changes are necessary,
our dedicated personnel will carefully manage any changes required, ensuring
that you gain the benefits and cost reductions achieved with NO negative
effects on service or quality.
Purchasing Support Services is able to offer reliable
sources of supply at competitive prices in the following
product categories: -
- Ambient food

- Equipment, light and capital
- Cleaning (materials and systems)
- Disposables
- Furniture, beds and soft furnishing

Dependent on the requirements of the customer, our activities
in these sectors can include dialogue and negotiations with
both wholesalers and manufacturers.
Our clients (and typical potential clients) tend to be busy
people, and it is understandable that central to their daily
routine is the need to retain satisfied customers.
Consequently certain functions fail to receive the priority they deserve,
and it is in precisely these areas that PSS is able
to excel on their behalf. Our clients are left to get on with their priorities,
confident in the knowledge that PSS is managing
and monitoring any arrangements that have been agreed,
which may include: -
- Benchmarking (price and service levels)
- Product sourcing
- Construction and implementation of Management
and Quality systems
- Provision of statistics
- Development of promotional programmes
- Invoice verification
- Logistics
- Production and provision of order templates
- Production and provision of bespoke purchasing manual
