How our on-demand procurement services delivered value to a large property management business

The brief.

Our client, a leading UK property management business with its own internal procurement team, were facing challenges with demand and required additional resources. As the pressure on the team fluctuates throughout the year, they were looking for a solution that would allow them to access on demand, flexible resources. Their aim was to work with an organisation that would operate as a seamless extension of their team and minimise the costs of taking on more full-time employees.

We were therefore engaged to provide this service and alongside this acted as an independent external agency to help assess RFP opportunities where other parts of their group were competing to deliver the service.

Our services.

Within the programme, we were retained to:

• Provide MCIPs qualified procurement professionals to the client on an “on demand” basis.
• Identify procurement operating model improvement opportunities.
• Act as a seamless extension of the client’s internal procurement team.
• Deliver multiple projects to a very high standard.

“We love the flexibility that tkg provides. Having a team of experts available, on demand, when we need them has really helped us transform our procurement function. It’s given us the breathing space to implement process change, which creates significantly greater value for all stakeholders.”

We continue to work with the client on an ongoing, on demand basis. The ability to access our services with ease at very short notice has made us a key part of their procurement operating model.
