Hand your buying function

to a team that already has the leverage

  • Economies of scale for SMEs
  • Use fully or by category
  • No long-term commitment

More than advice, hands-on help to get procurement done right.

As an SME, the best place to spend your time is on your core business, not managing a supply chain. Let Aspire run the buying operation for you and benefit from the economies of scale that come with our combined buying power.

Is buying eating into time you should be spending on your business?

Does any of this sound familiar?

You’re spending hours sourcing, comparing, and chasing suppliers instead of running your business
You don’t have the volume to negotiate meaningful savings on your own
Your supply chain has grown ad-hoc and there’s no one actively managing it
You suspect you’re overpaying but don’t have time to investigate
You want procurement expertise without hiring a full-time buyer

If you recognise any of these, Aspire’s outsourced buying service can help.

Your buying function, run by Aspire

Ensuring the supply chain is well managed and optimum costs and value are achieved takes time, time most SMEs can’t afford to divert from their core inputs. Aspire can run the buying operation on your behalf, using our vast buying power to unlock economies of scale your business couldn’t access alone.

We have a large database of approved suppliers and are equally happy to work with your trusted suppliers to create efficiencies and improve supply chain functionality.

There is no obligation to use Aspire for all your procurement needs. Use it as an entire outsourced function, or just as a time saving activity for certain items or categories.

Two ways to use the service

Fully outsourced buying function

Aspire becomes your buying department. We manage suppliers, source products and services, negotiate pricing, and handle day to day procurement, freeing your team to focus on what you do best.

Ideal for: SMEs without an in-house buyer, or teams outgrowing ad-hoc purchasing

Category or project-based buying

Keep your current process and use Aspire selectively: for specific categories, one-off projects, or items where our buying power clearly wins.

Ideal for: businesses that want to keep control but plug gaps where leverage is the issue

Why SMEs choose Aspire for outsourced buying

Economies of scale

Our combined buying power across clients gives us leverage an individual SME can’t access alone, often resulting in the same or better prices you’d negotiate yourself, delivered faster.

Our suppliers or yours

We bring a large database of approved suppliers, and we’re equally happy to work with the trusted suppliers you already have, improving efficiency either way.

Use us as much or as little as you need

No obligation to hand over everything. Outsource the whole buying function or just specific categories. Scale up or down as your business evolves.

“Aspire is able to source products and services of the same or better prices. Katie manages to do this very efficiently and quickly. Katie is trustworthy, open, to the point and with a sense of humour.

Aspire has also introduced our businesses to other service providers whereby we have been able to reduce our expenditure. This has led to new technologies and efficiencies being used in our businesses.

To me it’s a no brainer: Katie and her team do the work using her contacts, skills and buying power. We end up with the products we want at very good prices; cheaper than we can purchase them directly.

I would highly recommend Katie and Aspire.
