NE Procurement
"Through working with Valueworks we rapidly established a complete picture of where we were and what we needed to do."
Ian Brimer, Chief Executive
Wolverhampton City Council
"Valueworks rapidly got to the heart of the procurement issues faced by our organisation and their analysis identified the critical areas for improvement. Their practical, ‘hands on’ and methodical approach meant that we were very happy to appoint them as our joint ‘Change Agents for Procurement Transformation’ with a remit across all of our spend areas. From the commencement they have worked both extremely collaboratively and with an aligned approach which is helping us develop solutions that are both pragmatic and practical."
Tony Rooke, Programme Manager (Procurement Transformation), Wolverhampton City Council
Manchester Solutions
"Valueworks are one of the best partners we have worked with in all our developments. Their project management skills and market knowledge are excellent. Over the past couple of years we have undertaken to modernise and improve our service offer to our customers. Without Valueworks' team supporting us, we would have not made anywhere near the progress we have made. What's nice about working with Valueworks and their team is that there is no sense of customer/supplier, we are just one big team trying to deliver the best result for Greater Manchester businesses."
Mark Hayes, Director of Employer Engagement and Membership, Manchester Solutions
Riverside Housing
"The procurement process that we undertook has not only provided us with an OJEU-compliant framework but has also allowed us to leverage volume across the Group, whilst maintaining a high standard of service... we have a successful partnership that is delivering commercially for both ourselves and the contractor, along with an innovative and scaleable model. Valueworks played a key part in achieving this."
James Hill, Director of Property Strategy
"The systems and processes which Valueworks provides underpin our maintenance delivery services and offer us complete transparency and cost visibility which is critical for us in ensuring compliance and identifying efficiencies."
John Hayes, Director of Asset Management
"Valueworks have acted as our ‘commercial advisor’ since the inception of our new responsive repairs partnering contract 18 months ago. During this challenging time, the relationship between Riverside, Morrison and Valueworks has gone from strength to-strength and we have delivered operationally and commercially. Valueworks have been an instrumental element of this."
Mark Burnett, Assistant Director
South Thames College
"We appointed Valueworks as they offered a dynamic and commercial approach to procurement. So far, their approach has been very professional and the College has already benefited from the realisation of real savings and more effective procurement processes."
Julian Grindell, Interim Vice Principal Finance and Estates
ECHG
"The procurement of a framework of service providers not only means that we now have a single point solution for all of our stock across the UK, but has also provided us with a premium service for a comparable cost and the opportunity for ongoing cost efficiencies."
Andrew Appiah, Director of Property Services
Wolseley Heavy Side Division
"Wolseley are continuing to benefit from being a supplier of construction materials through Valueworks’ e-Marketplaces. This relationship has given us the opportunity to reduce or negate the cost inflation of materials, driven by aggregated volumes and predicting demand, both of which are very attractive to manufacturers. In addition, buying organisations are able to purchase at a reduced cost and we can manage our Inventory and regulate our cash invested. Valueworks have provided us with an excellent supply chain enhancement."
Grant Richardson, Managing Director
Calico Housing
"Valueworks took our existing sourcing plans, quickly refined them and then helped us deliver an outcome that exceeded our expectations, including direct cashable savings of 13%."
Helen Blackey, Head of Repairs
Procure Plus
"Procure Plus and its members have worked with Valueworks on a number of sourcing projects and therefore we were confident that they would be able to deliver a framework that both met the requirements of Procure Plus members but also provided a strong commercial model that was simple to implement."
Brian Tarmey, Quality Manager
