1 from The Consortium Our Vision

2 The Consortium? The Consortium was formerly a local authorities supplies organisation covering the South West of England and much of Wales It provided procurement and fulfilment services to 10 county councils and 60 or so district councils. It supported Police and Fire authorities with specialist contract management. In 1995, following local government reorganisation, we joined the private sector We have continued to serve customers delivering public services, whether in the public, private or 3 rd sectors, across the UK. Whilst 80% of our business is now in educational supplies, we have retained our links with the Fire Service Since 1994, we have provided procurement and contract management support to the Fire Service Appliance Consortium (FSAC) and were instrumental in the development of the original Standard Type B Water Tender Specialist contracts, including EU compliant tendering, are a small but important part of our operations today.

3 Why Were We Selected The Consortium was not the easy choice for DCLG We are not a contracting authority We are based in Wiltshire But We have relevant experience from our work with the Fire Service Appliance Consortium (FSAC) We understand the specific issues facing the fire engineering sector We understand the different demands of Chief Fire Officers and their Fleet Engineers and Procurement Managers We understand that no-one is mandated to use the contracts we have taken on And we were still up for the challenge!

4 Why We recognise that public procurement is changing. The Firebuy Framework Agreements are a demonstration piece. Fresh perspective: a new balance between compliance and innovation, Working with customers and suppliers to find solutions to today s (& tomorrow s) operational and financial challenges. No policy agenda to deliver We aim to be a facilitator Providing procurement frameworks that deliver flexibility and value to the Fire and Rescue Service (and others) and clarity and opportunity to suppliers. Simplicity & Transparency We will invest time in understanding what works, what doesn t work and what could be done differently. We will only succeed if we can demonstrate the value of our involvement to you and to your suppliers.

5 What Next Relaunch! Customer Engagement Agree mechanisms for collaboration TOG CFOA National Procurement Board Regional Procurement Groups Clearing house Supplier Engagement Flexible application of existing frameworks Tailored support packages A programme of development for new and replacement Framework agreements Buying Made Easy!

6 Extras from The Consortium There are benefits to be derived from taking some of things we do in our core business and applying them to Online catalogues for easier ordering of commodity products Streamlined ordering processes Targeted marketing of relevant contracts both to the Fire Service and to other public service organisation An opportunity to consolidate other areas of spend with one supplier Access to an increased procurement and fulfillment resource An opportunity for suppliers to access new markets at home and abroad A willingness to tailor what, and how much, we do for our customers One stop shop but not one size fits all!

7 Our Vision To bring our tried and tested Buying made Easy formula to the Fire Service To work with our customers To work with the marketplace To bring buyer and supplier together in a transparent and effective way Stimulate innovation Seek out opportunities for improved value for money Secure volume through the frameworks by choice not coercion Demonstrate our added value to customers and suppliers alike Expand our specialist procurement service to other areas of public sector procurement
