“As a membership organisation, it is important that the Conservative Party obtains maximum value for money on the goods and services it buys.
We engaged the services of a leading procurement consultant, Mike Buchanan, the Chief Executive of LPS.  During the course of a year-long assignment, he negotiated contracts that are markedly improving the Party's bottom line, and we continue to rely on his firm's experience and expertise in procurement-related matters.”

Enhancing commercial performance
Our mission is to enhance the commercial performance of clients, through the application of exceptional procurement experience and expertise. We have experience of working in a broad range of sectors, and for both large and smaller companies.
Companies spend on average some 55% of revenue on purchased goods and services. While the proportion varies between and within market sectors, even a modest improvement in input costs will have a marked impact on company profitability, releasing funds for investment, improving returns for shareholders etc. Professional procurement practices will also strengthen a company in a number of other ways.
We enhance clients' profitability by improving the management of their purchased goods and services. This is achieved through a unique combination of:
a team of outstanding procurement professionals
high-level procurement expertise
experience of improving the procurement performance of companies in a wide range of industries
experience of a broad range of supply markets
tried and tested methodologies
innovative thinking and approaches
The objective of this website is to explain what we can do for your company, our breadth and depth of experience, and profiles of the procurement professionals who deliver the services. We look forward to hearing from you, and contributing to the successful development of your company.
