Full procurement spend review
A four-to-six-week reading of one organisation’s invoices and purchase orders, returned as a classified spend map, a findings note, and two briefings.
Work we take on
Spend reviews and studies
Four kinds of work, all grounded in the same records: invoices, purchase orders, supplier lists, and the contracts already on the shelf.
Category study
A focused reading of one buying family — fuel, medicines, construction materials, catering, IT hardware — instead of the whole ledger.
Supplier concentration study
A look at how few names hold how much of the total, including duplicate spellings, related companies, and the quiet tail of one-off vendors.
Annual spend briefing
A half-day session that walks a board, a council committee, or a finance team through last year’s buying using maps prepared in advance.
We take on work that ends in a briefing and a written note, not in a login. If you need someone to run a tender, select an e-procurement package, or staff a buying desk, that is a different trade; we will say so early.
A first conversation is free of charge and lasts about half an hour. Bring a sense of the period you care about and whether the records live in Excel, an accounting package, or a filing room.
