British multinational contract foodservices, cleaning, property management and support services company ‘Compass Group PLC’ asked CMI Synergy to review complex supply chain and procurement processes introduced into its structure following the strategic acquisition of PPP Infrastructure Management.

CMI set up a full review and consolidated PPP’s supply chain by migrating certain contracts across to Compass Group’s already approved suppliers. They also investigated procurement and contract management processes developing new working methods which better complied with the Group’s commercial procedures.

Mick Morgan, the Group’s Project Sponsor and Commercial Director said, ‘CMI helped us reduce PPP’s supply chain by a third and delivered savings of £400k p/a. Integrating our tendering process within the business has enabled us to expect further savings in the future.’
