How to get an increased ROI on your procurement activity

Effective procurement can give the most tangible and mouth-wateringly high returns of any function within an organisation. Benchmark studies point to an average of two- to fivefold ROI per annum. Our own experience bears this out.

As many of you will know, we have a thriving procurement consultancy and, over the last six years, we have carried out assignments to develop procurement strategies for organisations. These involved negotiating and re-contracting across categories as diverse as software licences to building maintenance and from cleaning stores to cleaning materials. We have worked across many business sectors including property, retail, hospitality and financial services. The client feedback has been positive, their return on investment has been up to tenfold and the demand for our support has grown.

Would you like a share of this? It’s now possible, as we have strengthened our offer to meet the needs of a wider audience. We have handpicked a team of proven professionals based on our personal experience of their success across a wide array of categories, sectors and procurement processes. Our collective experience now includes UK public sector, retail, food services, hospitality, business services, pharmaceuticals and charities – and our existing category experience has now extended to include telephony, IT hardware, fuel and vehicles, global sourcing, FM and professional services.

On a third dimension we have expertise in procurement strategy, stakeholder engagement, supplier selection, negotiating and contracting and supplier management as well as e-Procurement and e-Auctions.

Just as importantly though this team has the confidence and experience to transfer their existing knowledge into new areas and hit the ground running.
