Event has a track record of delivering substantial savings
through the effective implementation and operation of best
in class procurement.
We help organisations in getting the best out of the systems
they have implemented by driving the process changes, both
internally and with suppliers that result in the real benefits
being achieved.
Event has developed and implemented a number of innovative
outsourced procurement models that enable our clients to
realise the savings opportunities across a wide range of
categories without the need to acquire rare category expertise
or implement niche technology solutions.
Our outsourced procurement services include:
-
Portfolio solutions where Event provide
the procurement resources to manage some or all of a client’s
categories. This approach allows the client’s staff
to focus on core categories (typically direct spend) while
reaping the benefits of a focussed, expert approach to
non-core categories. Event deploys a core team to provide
day-to-day management and additional expertise to support
specific activities and categories.
-
Category solutions that focus on a single
major category, providing a bespoke operational service
along side strategic supplier management. This may also
include the aggregation of spend across Event clients
to bring scale benefits to all parties.
We achieve these outstanding results through a combination
of the following:
-
Outstanding purchasing skills and experience.
Building on our deep, practical category knowledge, our
team has extensive purchasing experience.
-
A knowledge base of suppliers and benchmark
data. As a result of our ongoing benchmarking studies
carried out in partnership with major public and private
sector organisations, we have developed a wealth of clearly
structured and easily comparable data to help speed up
the process of quantifying the opportunities available
for our clients. This coupled with a continually updated
supplier knowledge base provides the basis for accurate
and informed decision-making.
-
Proprietary procurement technology.
-
Agility and creativity. While we bring
a wealth of experience, skills and tools, we recognise
that every organisation is different and the same solution
does not work for everyone. Creativity runs through all
of our work and training. Our agility is reflected in
the commercial models we operate with our clients, from
flat fee to full gainshare, our arrangements see us rewarded
for delivering auditable results that are often ten to
twenty times our fees.
