Procurement & Supply Management

Examples of our work

Drawing on decades of experience serving the world’s top utilities and independent power producers, we help clients reduce their total cost of ownership by an average of 15 to 18 percent across all spend areas.

Optimizing IT Procurement Strategy

We helped a major integrated utility design a new procurement operating model based on closer collaboration with the business, develop a world-class IT outsourcing strategy, and identify savings in excess of 25 percent.

Shaving a Fifth Off Program Costs

We introduced an agile operating model for a top natural-gas utility by applying advanced analytics to construction and maintenance contracts in gas distribution and transmission, reducing capital costs and expenses by 20 percent.

Adopting Advanced Sourcing

We transformed the transmission contracting and project delivery for a large electric utility by introducing leading-edge sourcing methods, “should cost” modeling, and an innovative partnership model.

Transforming the Procurement Function

We assisted a regional public utility to address spend categories across all business units and delivered savings of 15 percent by reengineering the structure, design, and capabilities of its procurement organization and adopting a new operating model.

Reducing Contracting Expenditure

With our help, a large merchant generator adopted advanced methods for forecasting and managing demand, and identified cost savings of 20–35 percent in service categories from outage and maintenance contractors to maintenance, repair, and operations spend and security.
