General Purchasing

TM specialises in reducing clients' operational costs without affecting their core activities. Our success is due to the unique relationship that is developed through Performance Contracting, where TM's expertise is integrated into a client's cost reduction programme. Many non-core activities which TM call "administrative expenses" are often comparatively small but complex, and require specialist assistance if they are to be minimised. Our team of highly skilled purchasing specialists, consultants and engineers have the experience, and, access to extensive databases, to initially reduce costs via purchasing power and then improve performance in many areas without compromising quality or levels of service. In fact in many cases TM's clients find that these are improved. 

Typical areas covered include:

Office supplies

Our experienced buyers can negotiate significant discounts across a wide range of products and often reduce the need for internal stocks

Utilities

Energy, water, telecoms and environmental costs are tackled with best possible prices being linked to improved management systems and engineering. See "Utility Purchasing" page for further details.

Printing

Eliminating handling charges and maximising press time can result in significant savings with reduced stocks and improved turnaround time

Waste Minimisation

By investigating a process stream wastes can often be reduced at source, along with associated disposal costs

Transport

Initially we ensure that you are receiving value for money and if necessary we can assist transport companies to optimise loads and routes linking with other TM clients

Packaging

Raw materials, rationalisation and value analysis can all lead to reductions in packaging costs.
