Preferred Supplier Agreements

Value for money in the procurement of goods and services has never been more important. Premium Members of Bionow have access to One Nucleus' Preferred Supplier Agreements (PSAs) which are tendered agreements for various key supplies. These agreements offer significant potential savings for your business - on average around 35%.

We are happy to perform a cost-benefit analysis to allow you to understand if Premium Membership of Bionow will save your company in excess of the membership fee. This will enable you to see a full breakdown of the savings which can be made to your business. If you would like to receive a cost-benefits analysis, please contact Diane Cresswell.

PSAs are tendered agreements for various key supplies. Our suppliers are selected based on their ability to offer:

  • Substantial discounts (up to 50% off catalogue prices)
  • No minimum order requirements
  • No delivery or handling charges
  • Guide payment terms of 30 days with the option of monthly consolidated invoicing
  • Delivery within one or two days
  • Volume rebates for companies exceeding annual turnover targets

Savings vary from company to company, but on average the users of this scheme, which has over 60 members, save over 35% on their annual spend.
