private equity & portfolio
procurement-led value creation for investors and portfolio companies.
We work with PE investors and their portfolio companies to identify and deliver procurement-driven value — from pre-deal assessment through to post-acquisition transformation.
the opportunity
why procurement matters in private equity
Procurement is one of the most reliable levers for EBITDA improvement in a portfolio company. Yet it is consistently under-resourced and under-exploited. We bring the commercial rigour and hands-on delivery capability to change that — quickly and without the overhead of a large consulting firm.
the numbers that matter
what we do
how we create value
pre-deal spend assessment
Rapid analysis of a target's procurement maturity, spend profile and cost reduction opportunity — giving investors a clearer picture of value creation potential before close.
100-day procurement plan
A structured, deliverable-focused plan for the first 100 days post-acquisition — covering quick wins, supplier renegotiations, process improvements and team capability.
spend diagnostics & benchmarking
Detailed analysis of current spend, supplier base and contract terms — identifying where value is being left on the table and what it would take to capture it.
supplier consolidation
Rationalising fragmented supplier bases across portfolio companies to drive volume leverage, reduce complexity and improve commercial terms.
interim procurement leadership
Experienced procurement leadership on an interim basis — providing continuity, capability and momentum during periods of change or transition.
procurement function build
Building or rebuilding a procurement function from the ground up — people, process, systems and governance — to create a sustainable commercial capability.
how we work
our approach
We don't produce reports that sit on shelves. We work alongside management teams to deliver real outcomes — cost reduction, supplier performance improvement, process efficiency and commercial capability. We are practical, fast-moving and focused on what actually creates value.
