Look past the master contract
Some groups have central agreements but local variations, supplements, out-of-contract purchases or different service levels. We investigate the effective cost by site rather than assuming the headline contract tells the full story.
Measure savings after implementation
A group-wide price only has value if the locations can use it. We account for onboarding, service coverage, delivery reliability, minimum quantities and any transition charges before recommending a change.
Scope matters more than site count
A business with twelve expensive outsourced contracts may offer a larger opportunity than one with one hundred small locations. We qualify on negotiable expenditure and likely financial value, not an arbitrary number of branches.
A real-world decision to test
Example mandate: a national operator has a central supplier agreement, but local branches still pay surcharges, use off-contract providers and receive different service standards. The opportunity may be enforcing current terms rather than changing vendors.
What you would receive
A location-by-location supplier-cost comparison, quantified contract leakage, workable alternatives and adoption responsibilities.
Regional and national operators across hospitality, property, facilities and retail.
Locations are not prepared to provide comparable scope and expenditure data.
Questions worth asking
Do all sites have to use the same supplier?
No. We compare consolidation with regional and specialist arrangements, keeping commercial and operational requirements in view.
Must every location use the same specification?
No. Normalise only what genuinely matches. Local service, delivery or compliance requirements may justify keeping different suppliers rather than forcing one national agreement.
