Strategic Sourcing

Why outsource?

Strategic sourcing is a key concern in the modern business world. With companies coming under competing pressures to drive excellence, maximise resources and generating efficiencies they may look outside their own organisation to find alternative ways that day-to-day operational services can be delivered more cost efficiently. 

Intelligent and disciplined provisioning of business and IT services gives an organisation the freedom to focus on its core business and can deliver practical, financial and strategic advantages.

In for the long haul

We understand that the success of any outsourcing depends on a complex balance between planning, (accurate scoping and business analysis), flexibility, incentivisation and creating a long-term relationship which works.  We are experienced in working seamlessly within large, multi-disciplinary project teams in a highly flexible, collaborative and constructive manner.  The contract is just one part of that equation and we'll work with you to make certain it provides a practical building block for any future relationship.  We can advise you on all aspects of the arrangement and, in particular can ensure that:

  • Day-to-day operations are smooth through effective governance
  • The arrangement fits in with how you do business
  • The contract is easy to navigate and drafted in plain English
  • The service levels and other key metrics are meaningful and measurable
  • You can measure the ongoing competitiveness of the services through benchmarking
  • Flexibility is achievable through an appropriate change control procedure
  • There is a clear exit management strategy

While no two projects are identical, we will work with you to understand your business drivers and pride ourselves on our ability to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions which augment and capitalise upon your existing in-house expertise.

We are experienced in acting for suppliers and customers alike (both public and private) and across industries ranging from insurance and banking to health and medical care, social housing, food and textiles, logistics, recruitment and energy companies.
