Insurance
Insurers rely heavily on outsourcing and must meet the PRA's rules on how it is managed. We helped a UK insurer move from one provider to several, bring its contracts in line with those rules and save around £1m.
The industries we work in
We focus on sectors where suppliers are central to how the organisation runs, and where contracts are large, complex or closely regulated.
Banking and financial services
Banks depend on a small number of very large technology suppliers. Our founder built the supplier governance framework for a global bank's eight biggest IT suppliers, covering £550m of annual spend.
Government and the public sector
Public bodies run critical services through long, complex contracts that face close scrutiny. Our founder has led supplier strategy, governance and exit planning on contracts worth up to £100m a year.
Infrastructure and transport
Major programmes buy large amounts of software and IT services, often under time pressure. Our founder has challenged steep renewal quotes and settled licence disputes on a national infrastructure programme.
Energy and utilities
Regulated energy services often depend on a few critical technology suppliers. Our founder has managed the commercial relationships behind services of this kind.
Manufacturing
Manufacturers often run large IT estates that were bought for needs which have since changed. For a global manufacturer we identified around £700,000 of services that were no longer needed.
IT service providers
Managed service providers are seeing vendor prices rise while their resale margins shrink. We review vendor contracts and costs, and can run vendor management on their behalf.
