SUCCESS STORIES IN PROCUREMENT SAVING OUR CLIENTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

THE BOBBY JONES LINKS PROCUREMENT PROGRAM

One of the substantial benefits of partnering with Bobby Jones Links is our ability to leverage our size and industry relationships to provide significant savings—“national account buying power”— for our clients.

The programs and pricing, negotiated and managed by our Director of Procurement, are across all departments and expense categories and enable our clubs to receive the best possible and lowest pricing on a broad range of items. This includes major equipment, such as golf cars and maintenance equipment, insurance, food and beverage, merchandise, supplies, etc. Depending on the item or service, it typically results in significant savings, ranging from 2% to 20%, depending on the product or service.

PROCUREMENT SUCCESS STORIES

Over the past 20 years, we have saved our clients millions of dollars vs what they would have paid on their own. A few examples include:

• A Tennessee club saved $511 per car when purchasing a new fleet of 80 golf cars.
• A large private club in Florida saved $156,000 annually by switching to our health insurance and benefits plan.
• One of our long-time daily fee clients has saved approximately $750,000 on purchasing golf cars and maintenance equipment.
• A North Carolina club enjoyed $146,000 in savings on a new maintenance equipment package.

HOW WE DO IT

Bobby Jones Links always solicits multiple bids.

While we have relationships with all the major manufacturers and vendors, we are not aligned with any one company in particular – often finding prices vary depending upon the region and a vendor’s willingness to offer the best price based on their needs and current market conditions. It’s an ever-changing landscape, which is why we have a full-time Director of Procurement working on your behalf.
