across the UK because our business model not only identifies
savings for their practice, it also provides a value added

How the cost review process works

We receive a copy of the bills and a signed letter of
authority, entitling us to contact the supplier on the
customers behalf.
We tender the accounts, negotiate the best deals and
provide a report highlighting the savings within a week.
If the customers wants to go ahead we arrange for the
necessary paperwork to be completed.
Prior to the renewal we will contact the customer to
begin the process again.

“I refer clients to BCR Associates for a
couple of reasons. Firstly, they give a
very good service and have managed to
find some good cost savings. Secondly,
it helps with my customer care. I believe

important. I’ve only received good
feedback from clients who have used the
