The client, a large UK retailer, was struggling with changes in demand and contract overspend after a downsizing programme in 2023. The goal of the project was to review all current vendor and supplier contracts, identify where savings could potentially be made, and then work with the procurement department to reduce the current level of expenditure to meet business requirements. Our team was given a three-month deadline to make savings to the bottom line.
The outcomes of the consultancy engagement were highly successful. Cambridge MC implemented a series of strategic initiatives that included streamlining processes, renegotiating supplier contracts, and optimising resource allocation. As a result, we were able to save £10m on an addressable budget of £80m, in under three months.
