Suppliers costing too much?

A pound saved on cost is worth more than a pound of sales

Most businesses have never reviewed their top twenty suppliers properly. The savings are usually sitting in plain sight, and they drop straight to profit.

Sound familiar?

  • Supplier prices have not been challenged in years
  • Contracts for utilities, telecoms, insurance or software renew automatically
  • Purchase decisions happen without approval or budget
  • You buy the same thing from a dozen vendors

What we would do

The plan, in order

  1. 01

    Spend analysis

    Twelve months of purchase data categorised and ranked by opportunity, so you can see exactly where the money goes.

  2. 02

    Negotiate and re-tender

    For each priority category we renegotiate, consolidate or run a fair competitive tender. We handle the process and the conversations.

  3. 03

    Insurance and finance

    Where cover or funding is part of the picture we introduce independent, FCA-authorised brokers to review it properly.

  4. 04

    Controls

    Purchase approval, preferred supplier lists and a renewal calendar so costs do not creep back.
