Waterloo Quarter BID's 'smart buying' project aims to achieve significant cost savings for local businesses. It will comprise two key elements:

- a programme of local Business-to-Business offers to help encourage trading within the BID area

- a joint procurement project that would aim to use the bulk buying power of more than 300 local businesses to negotiate better deals on goods and services

We are inviting businesses that would be keen to get involved in the development of this project to get in touch. Current suggestions for services that we should consider as part of a joint-buying scheme range from alarm testing to pest control and stationery supplies.

Please contact Helen Santer hsanter@waterlooquarter.org to register your interest in getting involved.
