We believe that for your company to deliver the best results in areas of strategic spend, it needs to employ its own staff over the long term, even if we provide the initial and ongoing support. But for your purchasing staff to be able to deliver the potential benefits they must have sufficient skills and knowledge.
That is where we can help - thanks to our range of top quality Best Practice Purchasing Training Programmes that we bring to your site (or a local hotel if you prefer). We charge £1,500 + VAT per day regardless of the number of delegates (up to a maximum of 12 per day). Note that the details stated below are just outlines as we can tailor the training courses to your individual company needs. Plus as an additional benefit, your organisation will automatically qualify for free lifetime membership to our Buying Group, the BSA Consortium, by engaging in our purchasing training services - a saving of £495 + VAT. This should completely offset the price of the training, and is unique to the Buying Support Agency.
Call us today to discuss your staff development needs in more depth.
