Cost reduction and mitigation

Savings you can audit, delivered at pace

Most organisations have not properly tested their supply markets in years. Contracts roll over, prices creep up through indexation, and nobody has time to run a full tender alongside the day job.

We do that work for you, category by category. We build the baseline with your finance team, go to market with a clear specification, negotiate firmly, and recommend awards with the commercial and operational detail side by side. A saving only counts when your finance team agrees it is one.

What is included

Spend and contract baseline, signed off by finance
Category strategies and market analysis
Competitive tenders and e-auctions
Direct negotiation with incumbents
Inflation protection in new contracts
Monthly savings tracking

Fee: A share of verified savings
Length: About six months for a full programme
First validated saving: Weeks 12 to 14, after the first award

Procurement capability

Raise the performance of your own team

Sometimes the most valuable saving is a procurement function that finds savings on its own. We assess where yours stands today, agree what good looks like for an organisation of your size, and help your people get there.

We work alongside your team rather than lecturing from the side. Policies, playbooks and templates are built with the people who will use them, so they are still in use a year after we leave.

What is included

Maturity assessment across people, process and data
Target operating model and organisation design
Policies, approval controls and governance
Category playbooks and tender templates
Source-to-pay system selection support
Training and negotiation coaching

Fee: Fixed, agreed before work starts
Length: Twelve weeks to a roadmap, then support as you need it
What stays: Every template, playbook and score

Procurement as a service

Experienced buyers, without the headcount

When a buyer leaves, a big renewal lands or a busy season arrives, the work does not wait for recruitment. Our interim specialists step into your team quickly, work to your policies and inside your systems, and keep things moving while you decide what you need for the long term.

For organisations without an in-house function, we can run procurement for you entirely, with a named lead and regular reporting to your finance team.

What is included

Interim heads of procurement
Category managers and project buyers
Fully outsourced procurement
Contract and supplier management
Purchase-to-pay and policy compliance
Handover plans for permanent hires

Fee: Day rate or monthly retainer
Commitment: Two to five days a week, on monthly terms
Recruitment fees: None

Spend analytics

See every pound, then act on it

You cannot negotiate what you cannot see. We pull data from your ledger, invoices, purchase cards and contracts, clean and classify it, and show you clearly who you pay, for what, and on what terms.

The result is a spend picture finance and procurement can share, with opportunities ranked by value and effort so you know exactly where to start.

What is included

Extraction from finance systems
Cleansing and supplier normalisation
Spend cube by category, site and cost centre
Dashboards for finance and buyers
Contract coverage and renewal calendar
Opportunities ranked by value and effort

Fee: Fixed, agreed up front
Length: Six weeks from data to dashboards
Refresh: Quarterly, if you want it kept current

Responsible sourcing

ESG built into how you buy

Investors, customers and regulators all want to know how your supply chain behaves. We help you answer with evidence, building ESG into supplier selection, contracts and reporting in a way your team can maintain without a dedicated department.

The aim is a programme that fits the size of your business and stands up when an auditor, a major customer or a buyer for your company asks hard questions.

What is included

ESG roadmap for procurement
Supplier code of conduct and onboarding
Modern slavery risk review
Scope 3 data from key suppliers
ESG criteria in tenders and contracts
Training for buyers and operations

Fee: Fixed, agreed up front
Output: A roadmap with owners and dates for every action
Reporting: Annual, ready for your board and investors

Supply-side due diligence

For investors, acquirers and lenders

A target’s supplier contracts can hide risk and value in equal measure. We work inside the data room to your deal timetable, reviewing the cost base, contract terms and supply resilience, and we size the savings you can realistically bank after completion.

Findings are written for the investment committee: clear on risk, specific on value, and ready for your model. When the deal closes, the 100-day plan is already waiting.

What is included

Change of control and liability review
Cost base benchmarking
Single-source and supply risk exposure
Savings case for your model
Red flag reports to tight deadlines
100-day plan for completion

Fee: Fixed, agreed per deal
Red flags: Within days, when the timetable demands it
After completion: A 100‑day plan, ready on the day
