Who are we?

Set up in 2002, the Buying Support Agency is a best practice Purchasing Specialist to medium sized organisations, delivering a mix of purchasing health checks, procurement training and tangible cost savings through the BSA Consortium.

What are the benefits of joining the BSA Consortium?

The BSA Consortium includes the following categories:
Stationery & Office Supplies,
Print,
Packaging,
Janitorial Supplies,
Telecoms,
Gas, Electricity & Water.

Clients typically save between 15-25% by joining.

Unit price is not the whole story! We care about ongoing value, so we monitor the performance of the suppliers within the Consortium through the use of Key Performance Indicators. Through working with the clients and suppliers we help to keep service levels high.

Members receive an e-bulletin every 2 months, offering interesting articles, "top tips" on buying practices and government stats relating to prices across a range of goods and services.

We save you time by sourcing and managing suppliers in areas of non-core spend, leaving your purchasing staff more time to focus on areas of the business that are more vital to the success of the organisation.

Our clients include:
National Audit Office,
Cranfield School of Management,
Gunnebo plc,
Babcock plc,
Forum of Private Business, to name but a few.
