• Working with a FTSE 100 advanced manufacturing business to tender its global logistics arrangements. We supported this business to develop a template contract, assess tender responses, shortlist and then select the successful suppliers and negotiate the final contract documents with those suppliers. This project delivered significant cost savings for the business with respect to its logistics costs whilst also enhancing service delivery from the suppliers.
