On-demand and project support
Supplier decisions get made under time pressure, by people whose main job is something else.
Consultancy
Senior procurement support, scoped to the problem in front of you.
Very few organisations have a procurement problem in the abstract. They have a contract renewing next month that nobody has read.
Who we work with
You spend a good deal with suppliers and suspect you are not getting it all back. Buying lands on your desk alongside the job you already do.
There is no procurement function, or one person holding it together — or a capable team that needs more senior capacity.
Start-ups and SMEs only, in the UK and internationally, at a fraction of what the big consultancies charge.
What we do
Six situations we are usually called about.
Described as problems, because that is how they arrive. Most engagements span two.
Cost and commercial optimisation
Spend is spread across dozens of suppliers, and renewals happen automatically.
Strategic sourcing and tenders
A purchase too important to get wrong, and scoring that comes down to opinion.
Operating model and governance
Nobody is sure who can buy what, and approvals depend on who is asked.
Supplier and contract management
Contracts get signed and filed. Renewal dates then arrive as a surprise.
AI, technology and operating model
Which platforms and AI tools genuinely fit an organisation your size, and how to shape the procurement operating model around them rather than the other way round.
How engagements work
Four steps, sized to what you need.
We are here to help, and we right-size what we suggest. Sometimes all you need is a workshop or a template — and that is a good outcome.
