Contractor Cost & Performance Optimisation

Establishing the optimum value from your contractor base

Overview

K Consulting deliver the key to effective contractor management - accurate, real-time visibility of all your commercial contractor costs and delivery performance. Working jointly with local and central key stakeholders, we define the commercial, quality and, where appropriate, the corporate social
responsibility (CSR) requirements of the organisation. We then go on to manage the end-to-end process of defining solutions that really work - from
baseline creation and business analysis through to strategy, negotiation, scenario analysis and full implementation.

These projects can be fulfilled on a one-off basis to deliver a high impact business transformation. Alternatively, with the use of our web-based activendor™ application, we can deliver a programme that provides you with ongoing, realtime visibility and control of all your contractors’ performance profiles at the touch of a button.
