This template is a more comprehensive one compared with the simple version – it can be used for stationery, office crockery and other products that you may want to compare spend on to benchmark against other providers. There are a number of formulas and links within the sheets, and comments added to share the instructions for easy use – if you have any questions, please get in touch! We’d recommend doing a benchmark either annually, or bi-annually as a good exercise to keep an eye on costs, trends, help manage your budget and run rates as well as to keep the suppliers at market prices. Some of your providers may help you in giving you the data in this format for ease.
