Services

PfH provides a comprehensive purchasing service to its member organisations in line with the rules set down by the European Union Procurement Directives. This includes: market research; preparing and issuing tender documentation (jn conjunction with Product Groups); analysing responses; preparing recommendations; monitoring and managing the performance of the suppliers.

Member organisations gain extra benefit from a management information system that pinpoints exactly what they currently spend and where savings can be made - while a tailor-made Central Billing System streamlines administration overheads.

In addition to securing the most economically advantageous deals for its members, PfH embeds the principles of best equality and environmental practice into its procurement process. It also takes into account the financial regulations of members when drawing up invitations to tender.
