Data-driven insight

Easy access to spend data that is accurate, comprehensive and fit-for-purpose data is just the start. It's what you do with it that really matters.  Our range of data-driven ‘Audits' have been developed in response to our customer's need for support in tackling the topical and hard-to-solve issues confronting  public sector procurement and finance professionals today. We take care of much of the data analysis so you can spend more of your time deciding what to do and managing outcomes.

Efficiency - find savings quickly

We recognise that not everyone is a data analyst.  Others don't have the time available to use the Observatory to identify real savings opportunities or underpin effective collaboration. Our data-driven Savings Audit and our Collaborative Opportunity Assessment workshop can help get you to ‘go' more quickly and with less effort on your part.

Payment - assess cash recovery benefit

No matter how sophisticated your systems and processes, duplicate and over-payments to suppliers are a fact-of-life. But finding them and eliminating false-positives from the thousands of payments you make in any given year is a sizeable data challenge. Our Duplicate Payment Assessment is designed to assess the ‘cash recovery' benefit likely to accrue from a recovery initiative.

Environment - quantify supply chain impact

Our Carbon Audit has been designed to support the development, implementation and monitoring of a sustainable procurement action plan. Our pragmatic, cost-effective & flexible hybrid methodology delivers the data, tools and insight needed to assess and quantify the environmental impact of public sector spend on goods & services.

Supplier - manage and understand

We can help you to better manage your suppliers and meet your goals in relation to a number of supplier-related issues:

•  Local sourcing - Procuring more goods & services from local SMEs,
•  Third Sector sourcing
•  Support BAME suppliers
•  Surveying suppliers to see how they think you're doing
• Risk of supplier failure amongst your key suppliers.
