11. Testimonials "I allocated a member from my team to work with GS to identify areas of possible cost savings. At each stage of the process, GS summarized their findings for approval. From the initial analysis that GS made, we agreed that they would focus on the product areas of safety wear, packaging, oils & lubricants and welding. GS made a forecast at this stage of the likely cost savings." We were very pleased with the results. The savings were 29% of the total tender value."

These potential suppliers were preselected against a stringent set of criteria, such as technical capability, delivery performance and quality standards." He added: "None of the companies could see each other's price during the process, but they were advised if their price was the most competitive at the time. The ultimate lowest price represented a significant saving for us."
