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
- 01
Spend analysis
Twelve months of purchase data categorised and ranked by opportunity, so you can see exactly where the money goes.
- 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.
- 03
Insurance and finance
Where cover or funding is part of the picture we introduce independent, FCA-authorised brokers to review it properly.
- 04
Controls
Purchase approval, preferred supplier lists and a renewal calendar so costs do not creep back.
