Outsourced Materials Buying for Contractors
BAAM's Managed Procurement service is designed for contractors who want structured, commercially disciplined materials buying — without employing a full-time buyer. We act as your outsourced procurement department. Our role is to improve supplier structure, protect margin, increase buying leverage, and implement commercial control across your materials spend.
All supplier accounts remain in your company name. We do not hold credit. We do not replace your relationships — we improve them.
Seven core services that put commercial structure around your materials spend.
Every engagement begins with a Free of Charge structured review of your buying position. We assess annual spend, supplier structure, discount tiers, rebate agreements, payment terms and spend concentration risk. No obligation, no commitment.
We review your current supplier network, compare discount structures, assess pricing competitiveness and identify overexposed spend with single merchants. This highlights immediate margin recovery opportunities.
We engage directly with suppliers on your behalf, renegotiate discount tiers and leverage your volume positioning to push for improved commercial terms. Most contractors do not formally renegotiate annually. We do.
Rebates are often poorly tracked, not maximised and not structured correctly. We review agreements, negotiate improved tiers, align supplier spend to maximise rebate thresholds and track performance quarterly. This often unlocks hidden margin.
We review invoice pricing accuracy, check discount application, identify pricing inconsistencies and recover incorrect charges where necessary. Small errors across high volumes become significant over time.
We coordinate supplier delivery planning, align materials flow with your build programme, reduce disruption and improve supplier accountability. Procurement is not just price — it's control.
We help you avoid over-reliance on a single merchant, fragmented supplier relationships and inconsistent pricing across sites. We build a structured supplier framework with clear category allocation and defined review points.
Start with a no-obligation Procurement Health Check. We identify the opportunities — you decide what to do next.
Get in TouchWe review your annual materials spend, current supplier list, discount levels, rebate agreements and payment terms. We identify commercial improvement opportunities and present a clear action overview.
We restructure your supplier allocation, renegotiate discount levels, introduce rebate tracking and implement pricing discipline across your materials spend.
On a monthly or quarterly basis, we monitor spend, review supplier performance, track rebate progress and provide commercial oversight. This creates ongoing structure — not one-off savings.
Mid-size contracting businesses with significant materials spend who lack the procurement infrastructure to optimise their buying position. You have the volume — we build the leverage.
Companies spending £500k–£5m+ annually on materials without an in-house buyer. Often overly reliant on one merchant, with inconsistent discount levels and untracked rebates.
Businesses where margin is leaking through poor supplier leverage, un-negotiated discounts, unclaimed rebates or invoice errors. We find it and fix it — without increasing your headcount.
