'We engaged with K Consulting to provide an input to our social care procurement strategy, specifically creating models of P&L structure for our key service types. They initially provided a snapshot of our spend by client group by geography, taking into account a number of influencing factors. This formed an excellent base for the creation of practical models, which have given us a real insight into the way in which Providers make – and spend – money. There were some real challenges in terms of engagement with the Suppliers. K Consulting managed to overcome them by fostering a positive attitude and by using an engaging style: their commitment to delivering value is clear.'
