Working with Site Licence Companies
The Shared Service Alliance is a collaborative grouping of the NDA and its Site Licence Companies (SLCs) whose objective is to look at ways of sharing support costs and delivery of improved value for money across the NDA estate by exploiting the Alliance's combined buying power and assets to the full.
Cross-estate collaborative procurement has been established to deliver value which would otherwise not have been released through silo SLC operations including:
- Ensure improved security of supply through aggregated buying power
- Exploit economies of scope through bundling where there are significant costs common to different goods or services in a supply chain
- Strengthen the negotiating position in contracting with suppliers
- Reduce prices through economies of scale, including enabling smaller SLCs to benefit from the same advantageous deals
- Share procurement costs for buyers and reduced bidding costs for suppliers through a single tendering process
- Share the costs associated with gathering price and market information
- Facilitate improved management of suppliers and contracts at a strategic level for contracts agreed by the Steering Group
- Deliver service and process improvements through the adoption of best practice
- Reduce fragmentation, number of contracts and unnecessary complexity
- Ensure all collaborative procurements adopt the highest standards in terms of safety and environmental protection
- Better decision making through cross-Estate and external benchmarking
- More consistent application of best practice, innovation and enhanced opportunities for learning.
