Overview

Fourteen years of running procurement, on your side.

Most consultancies send you a deck. We have spent since 2012 doing the work: leading sourcing events, rebuilding procurement functions, negotiating the contracts and owning the number at the end of it. Our consultants have run procurement for government bodies and Fortune 500s, including Central Bank UAE, the UAE Ministry of Finance across 30+ federal entities, and Schneider Electric.

That depth is the point. When you engage us you get people who have already solved your problem in your category, backed by a pattern library built from hundreds of real engagements. Where technology helps we bring in METIS, the tail spend platform from our sister company CollectiveSpend Technology. Where it does not, we bring people. We plug in wherever you need us, from a one-off spend diagnostic to a multi-year transformation, and stay accountable to outcomes you can measure.

Our approach

Diagnose, design, execute, optimise.

One methodology, scaled to the engagement. It works for a single sourcing event and for a multi-year transformation.

01

Diagnose

We map the spend, the process and the supply base, and show you where the value actually sits. No assumptions, no template findings.

02

Design

We build the sourcing strategy, category plans, policy and governance around how your team really works.

03

Execute

We run the events, negotiate the contracts and do the work alongside your people. This is the step most consultancies hand back to you.

04

Optimise

We embed the controls, train your team and keep tuning, so the savings hold long after we leave.

No two companies are the same, so we tailor the engagement rather than forcing you into a template. Flexible engagement options run from a focused project to ongoing support and embedded interim resource, so you get exactly the help you need to reach the outcomes you are after, and not a penny more.
