Active Cost Management

Additional on-site work to deliver savings
Active Cost Management is the provision of a professional buyer to take the lead in the execution of making the savings and enable organisations to focus on the expenditure that matters the most.

Active Cost Management offers all the benefits of fully outsourced management of overheads (i.e. Facilities Management) but in a very cost-effective way. Identified savings are implemented rapidly through the provision of the additional expert resource. In the initial period of the project, clients often have a Compleat Buyer on-site for one to three days per week.

Whilst suppliers still contract directly with all of the CBG members, a very hands-on approach towards supplier management ensure all internal requirements are met and often exceeded. Typical areas covered include: cleaning, security, catering, office expenditure, packaging, logistics, travel, fleet costs, workwear, maintenance etc.

The Active Cost Management service is very flexible, enabling our clients to balance the long-term savings achieved through the additional professional resources against the cost of the service.

Most of our clients are busy people and many do not have the resources, expertise or simply the time to maximise the CBG savings without additional help.
