Making Group Purchasing Accessible to Every UK SME
Founded by procurement professional who understand the SME disadvantage
Why We Started Procure Partners
Like many SME owners, our founder experienced the procurement disadvantage firsthand.
From Struggle to Strength
Procure Partners levels the field for UK SMEs with transparent GPOs. From real challenges, we turn procurement pain into collective savings and growth.
No fees — built by SMEs for SMEs.
Our Founder's Challenge
Andrei Vortolomei, Midlands SME owner, battled high costs and weak leverage against suppliers, shrinking profits like many UK businesses.
Global GPO Insights
Andrei found US GPOs like Premier (15-25% savings).
Transparent UK GPO
We built Procure Partners: no fees, flexible contracts for post-Brexit and sustainability needs—uniting SMEs for giant pricing and insights.
Think of us as a Group Purchasing Organisation that does all the hard work for you — pooling SME demands to negotiate better terms.
Achieve 10-25% annual savings across categories, hands-off.
How Our GPO Works Simply
We combine buying power from multiple SMEs to secure better terms with suppliers—full transparency. You access deals and buy as needed.
Saves time on negotiations, boosts profits via scale.
Better Than Direct or Buying Groups
Direct procurement: More control, but higher costs and admin. Buying groups: Bulk limits flexibility. Our GPO: Diverse choices, deeper discounts, less hassle.
Streamlined for efficiency over traditional methods.

Meet Our Founder: Procurement Expert Driving SME Growth
Andrei Vortolomei, with 10+ years in the procurement, founded Procure Partners after losing a business years ago due to the lack of market intelligence and buying power.That loss inspired our transparent model to give SMEs the power I lacked.
Mastered Cost - Cutting Strategies
Andrei negotiated deals saving 10-30% on packaging and delivery, with hands-on 3PL and post-Brexit experience.
From Loss to Innovation
Watching his venture fail against bigger rivals inspired a transparent, fee-free UK GPO to aggregate power for growth.
Leading for Your Success
Andrei heads a team focused on intelligence, leverage, and SME wins.
Why UK SMEs Are Choosing Group Purchasing
Rising Costs Driving Collective Power
UK SMEs face tariffs, political uncertainty, and short-term planning, with 50% limiting horizons to 12 months. Optimism grows (70% expect turnover rise), but equity and procurement challenges push towards GPOs for 10-30% savings.
Procurement Act 2023 Boosts GPOs
The Act (live Feb 2025) streamlines processes, mandates smaller lots, and promotes SME/local access to £400B public spending—no financial barriers, encouraging GPO adoption for transparency and equity.
Proven Wins from US & Europe
US GPOs like Premier save 15-25% for healthcare/non-health SMEs; Europe's Entegra cuts costs for hospitality without fees—driving growth and efficiency.
