Need IT procurement and contract management expertise from someone qualified in Contracts Law? I help businesses protect their commercial interests and reduce their legal risks. WHAT I DO + MY RESULTS 💰 I save clients money and reduce risk One client saved £6.4 million due to my assessment of the hidden costs and risks in their commercial contracts. By helping move liability from my clients onto the suppliers, my work mitigates the chances of business and legal exposure for those clients, so they can grow their revenue and avoid court. 🔬 I do forensic analysis of contracts I'm qualified in Contracts Law and go through contracts line by line with a fine tooth comb, to make sure nothing is missed. I ensure that contracts are fair on both sides, such as when defining protections in the event that a supplier were to cease trading. Attention to detail in my industry can be worth millions of pounds saved (or lost!) so I don't take any chances. 📈 I help you modernise By updating old technology and modernising processes, I helped one client improve their operating efficiency from 65% to 98%. Automating their manual processes allowed for a reduction in full-time employees, saving them around £1 million in staff costs. 🎓 I understand how people think and act My psychology degree helps me repair and strengthen stakeholder relationships that have become strained, leading to valuable renewed partnerships. Building stronger supplier relationships has allowed me to better align KPIs with SLAs, saving clients 700 hours per year. If you have IT procurement and contract management questions, let's talk. I'll work with you to: 🔘 HELP with IT procurement, sourcing and commercial contracts 🔘 IMPROVE profits and minimise risk 🔘 RESOLVE negotiation stalemates 🔘 ESCAPE from bad suppliers 🔘 DEEPEN relationships with good suppliers In other contract and procurement environments, there's a generic "get 3 quotes and negotiate" approach. But at Peru Consulting, we innovate by looking at each customer's desired result and then work backwards to understand how best to hit the intended target. This really does put the customer first – that's far better than making them follow a set process that isn't right for everyone. When I'm not busy poring over contract details, I help young kids with boxing training. It helps them get fit and teaches them that "you never lose until you actually give up." – one of my favourite quotes, by Mike Tyson 🥊 Email me and let's get your contracts fighting fit:
