Over £15 million was saved for the social housing sector by PfH in its first four years of operation.
More than 500,000 invoices have been processed through PfH’s Central Billing system since 2004.
Criteria including social and environmental sustainability, equality and diversity have been integrated into PfH’s tender evaluation under EU procurement regulations.
“ I needed a supplier who would be competitive on price, provide quality products and give an open, honest and professional service delivery. PfH assisted us with this by offering us their OJEU compliant materials framework."
