We are Procurement Experts focused on unlocking value
Many organisations are not harnessing the full power of their procurement. They don't have the internal capability to manage their suppliers. This results in unnecessary supplier costs and risks.
We provide procurement expertise on demand, helping medium to large organisations fill capability gaps to optimise supplier costs and reduce supply chain risk.
Whilst our primary focus is supporting financial services and technology led organisations, our deep procurement expertise means we can help most organisations solve their procurement challenges.
Our Approach
Building a high performing procurement department takes considerable time, effort and cost.
Utilising our 20+ years of procurement experience we have refined our procurement services so they can be deployed quickly and effectively to accelerate your functions maturity to unlock the value you most require. We can work as an extension to your existing team or in a standalone capacity.
Alternatively, we recognise that not all organisations wish to invest in building in-house capability to support their procurement needs. We offer a fully managed service or can provide flexible procurement support on a category/supplier basis, whatever works best for you.
Our Story
Swan Procurement was launched in 2022 by Michael Burt a former Chief Procurement Officer and is an independently owned specialist procurement consultancy.
He observed that due to global events, procurement departments were facing increased demands to optimise supplier costs and reduce risk. These challenges required specific procurement knowledge and expertise to solve beyond the capacity and capability of existing teams.
Rather than incurring the expense and additional time of trying to find and hire additional staff to solve these short term procurement challenges, he set about developing a range of procurement services that could be quickly deployed to accelerate value creation in less time and for a lower cost.
Today we are an ever expanding team of procurement experts working with FTSE listed and PE backed clients to successfully unlock value from their procurement.
