In February 2019 OBN launched its new online Purchasing Platform. The aim is to provide users with a better overview and control of spend and so save time and money.

The Purchasing Platform, sponsored by Fisher Scientific and provided by Elcom, is a cloud-based procurement solution, well established across industry.  It allows users to place orders directly with OBN’s preferred suppliers and a host of others all via one portal.

• Savings on list prices - in line with current Purchasing Consortium

• Greater visibility and control of spend

• Access to a wide variety of suppliers via one portal

• Permissions based access to allow management of multiple users within your company

• Comprehensive spend analysis

• Reduced transaction costs

Platform use is free for OBN Full Members, Supporters and Sponsors.

Companies are being added to the platform as part of a continual development process.

If you have any questions about the Platform please contact the Head of Purchasing and Membership, Lee Pratley by email, or tel: +44 (0)1235 420 876
