BT Premier Value
The BT Premier Value Scheme provides public sector organisations with access to BT's Premier Value top tier call package. This is achieved through a commitment made by Government Procurement Service to BT on behalf of the public sector. During 2007, this commitment was increased to £10M, enabling further substantial savings to be provided through eligibility for BT's best ever permanent business call tariff - Premier Value Band H.
About the Scheme
The Premier Value contract and supporting Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BT effectively allows an aggregation of public sector voice spend, positioning Government Procurement Service as BT's customer ("The Crown"), and eligible public sector organisations as subsidiaries.
In addition to reduced call costs, Premier Value customers also qualify for a free consultancy package called Analyst Consult. Under this package BT consultants analyse each customer's voice traffic and identify areas where more effective use could result in further savings to the customer, for example inefficient call routing or inappropriate use of premium rate numbers. The Analyst Consult service is optional and the resulting report is confidential. It is the customer's prerogative whether to develop and implement systems and processes to assist user compliance with the report's recommendations.
Avoid extra payment charges with BT OneBillPlus
Premier Value customers are strongly advised to take advantage of BT's OneBillPlus. By consolidating all their bills into a single invoice, organisations can save money and time, improve cash flow management and reduce transactional costs. OneBillPlus averts the £4.50 charge recently imposed for customers not using Direct Debit or Monthly Payment Plan, and minimises the risk of incurring a £10 late payment charge.
