No-win, no-fee procurement reviews for UK mid-market and PE-backed businesses

A no-win-no-fee procurement review is exactly what it says. You pay us nothing up front and nothing at all unless we find savings that exceed your threshold. The Procurement Group runs no-win-no-fee reviews for UK mid-market businesses and private-equity-backed portfolio companies with annual indirect spend over £500,000. Our typical review covers energy, telecoms, waste, office, and facilities contracts and delivers first cost reductions inside four weeks of engagement. We have been the preferred partner for owner-managed multi-site businesses and PE investor post-acquisition cost reviews since 2003, working out of our London office with a consistent team and an aggregated client book that unlocks tier-one supplier pricing no single business could reach alone.

How the no-win, no-fee review works

• Free savings audit. We analyse copy invoices and contract terms across your energy, telecoms, waste, office supplies, cleaning, facilities and print categories.
• Written report inside 10 days of receiving the paperwork.
• First cost reductions inside four weeks of a signed agreement.
• Fee model. A percentage of proven savings, paid quarterly in arrears. If we cannot deliver, there is no fee.
• Ongoing management. Once the initial savings land, we monitor consumption, validate invoices and re-tender ahead of contract expiry so the savings hold over time.

Who this is for

• UK businesses turning over £10 million to £100 million.
• £500,000 or more in annual indirect spend.
• Multi-site or operationally complex environments.
• Owner-managed businesses, PE-backed portfolio companies, and professional-service firms.

Frequently asked questions

How does no-win, no-fee procurement actually work?

We audit your indirect spend at no cost. If we identify savings above your minimum threshold and you agree to proceed, we manage the supplier changes and take a percentage of the savings we deliver, paid quarterly in arrears. If we cannot find qualifying savings, you pay nothing and owe nothing.

What is the minimum spend threshold for The Procurement Group to take on a client?

£500,000 in annual indirect spend across services and supplies. Below that, the numbers do not usually justify the process for either side. Above it, the model works.

How quickly will we see cost reductions once we engage you?

First cost reductions typically land inside four weeks of a signed agreement. Our written savings report reaches you inside 10 days of receiving the copy invoices, subject to diary availability on both sides.

Do you work with private-equity-backed portfolio companies?

Yes. PE-backed portfolio companies are one of our two core client types alongside owner-managed multi-site businesses. Post-acquisition cost reviews are a repeat use case: sponsors bring us in during the first 100 days to strip out indirect-spend inefficiency across the portfolio without adding headcount.
