Noel Leeming Group - sole supplier for appliances category for GSB

We are pleased to announce that Noel Leeming Group have been successful and appointed as sole supplier to the appliances contract. Noel Leeming Group provides GSB clients with access to the widest range of well known brands at very competitive pricing through their 93 Noel Leeming and Bond & Bond stores nationwide.

With the ban on using hand-held mobile phones while behind the wheel now imminent and many vehicle operators looking to switch to hands-free devices by next month’s deadline, GSB’s decision to appoint Noel Leeming Group to the appliances contract has given its thousands of members another new reason for financial cheer.

Access to some of the country’s best-priced hands-free sets is among a wide selection of exclusive benefits made possible by GSB’s decision to award its electrical appliances contract to the Noel Leeming Group (NLG).

“I’m happy to say that NLG’s appointment together with our other blue chip suppliers provides our members with some significant exclusive savings,” the group’s National Commercial Sales Manager, Dan Walker, said.

GSB, the country’s leading provider of procurement expertise, represents more than 3000 organisations with an aggregated spend of $700 million per annum. It is the only procurement service provider in New Zealand offering a full spectrum of procurement solutions from membership access to 100 contracted suppliers to consulting expertise for strategic services.

The latest deal for GSB members follows similar arrangements to secure some of the market’s best fuel discounts, stationary products and preferential pricing for an array of safety supplies.

GSB named NLG as its sole suppler of appliances after a competitive tendering process carried out by its procurement category experts.

Among the particular benefits of this latest contract for GSB members is a dedicated screen in each store for that automatically provides GSB pricing. And all purchases, quoting, processing of sales and delivery are handled by a dedicated corporate account administrator.

According to GSB CEO, Peter Royle, the group’s competitive pricing was only one of a number of critical areas considered during the recent tender process.  

“Price is always important, of course, but Noel Leeming Group was also selected due to their national coverage and strong environmental sustainability programmes and focus.”
