Procurement Management for…

 …Investors

  
We work with investors to provide procurement management services, typically for indirect costs, throughout the investment cycle.
 
From due diligence through to preparing a business for sale, our procurement experts seek out the potential for cost reductions and introduce and manage effective procurement processes.  
 
We're not sector specific, and can source cost reductions in any business.
 
Our clients include private equity investors, venture capitalists, activist shareholders, and fund managers looking to improve the return from businesses they are involved with. 
 

How Our Procurement Management Services Support Investors

1.  Financial Due Diligence

As part of the due diligence process, our report showing potential procurement savings supports you in assessing the value of the business. 

2.  100-Day Plan    

Our procurement experts come in to the business to uncover and implement cost saving opportunities, working closely with your investment/portfolio management. 
  
We understand that you need to maximise the value of your investments quickly and effectively. With our contribution to your 100 Day Plan, your new management team can focus on growing the business while we concentrate on reducing costs. 

3.  Ongoing Procurement Management

We apply best-practice procurement management processes to the business, managing contracts and continually seeking cost reductions.  .

4.  Business Recovery

If you need to turn a business around fast, we can come in and give its procurement a short, sharp shock treatment that will make a quick and direct impact on the bottom line, typically within 4 weeks.

5.  Planned Exits

Where you have a planned timetable leading to selling a business, we'll put managed procurement plans in place to support it.  If you're part way through, for example, a three year plan, talk to us now so that we can strip out costs during year two and ensure the benefits show on the books for year three. 
 

Cost Reductions That Don't Compromise on Quality
