Bowls Victoria partners with CCI to help clubs access better pricing
Bowls Victoria affiliated clubs can now access discounted pricing on services and supplies for their clubs thanks to a partnership with CCI Services
CCI Services are a not-for-profit organisation who work on behalf of members to access quality and good value items and services from trusted suppliers.
As part of the CCI partnership, all Bowls Victoria affiliated clubs can contact CCI for a no-obligation price comparison on any current suppliers or services. This service is completely free to clubs under the BV and CCI partnership.
Access better pricing for your club
CCI Services offers price comparison with suppliers across 16 different categories. Some of the most relevant categories for bowls clubs include:
- Cleaning Chemicals
- Groceries (fruit and vegetables, bakery, dairy and juice, meat and poultry)
- Hygiene Services
- Janitorial/Washroom Products
- Pest Control
- Stationery
- Waste Management
Membership Relationship Manager Madeleine Cowie said CCI works exclusively with not-for-profit organisations like affiliated bowls clubs.
“CCI is committed to helping clubs save money on essential goods and services,” she said.
“We’ve already done the heavy lifting, negotiating competitive rates that we pass directly on to our members. If a club is interested, we conduct a no-obligation price comparison to identify any potential savings with our suppliers.”
CCI helps City of Melbourne Bowls Club
Our members are already benefiting from using CCI’s price comparison services, like City of Melbourne Bowls Club who have negotiated better rates on both food services and pest control.
COMBC Club Manager, Amanda Cullen, said they have now been using CCI Services for the past 3 months.
“CCI came to us, and I was a little bit hesitant…but Madelaine who I’ve been dealing with has been excellent. She has been in contact the right amount of times checking in and doing all the hard work, she’s been great,” she said.
Amanda said even if some prices aren’t cheaper, someone at CCI will do all the research and show you transparently whether your club can save money.
“It’s very easy, madeleine did it all for me, you just have to send them the invoices so they can do the price comparison…ultimately it was Madeleine’s service that pushed me over the line to go ahead with CCI.”
CCI is a Bowls Victoria endorsed partner
Amanda said having the Bowls Victoria endorsement was a big factor in starting a conversation with CCI.
“It does help, it’s a bit like having the red tick of approval (on supermarket products),” she said.
“We recently negotiated our pest control through CCI, we were using the company anyway but we got it cheaper through CCI’s pricing.”
The work that CCI undertakes on behalf of thousands of members ensures they can access better value pricing for members.
“In fact, with One Supplier Flick, we have negotiated a great offering that is exclusive to Bowls clubs under CCI pricing,” said Madeleine.
“There is absolutely no pressure to switch providers — our main goal is to ensure clubs are getting the best possible pricing so they can reinvest those savings back into their operations.”
