Fractional procurement leadership

Senior procurement leadership, without a full-time hire.

Mid-market manufacturers often need experienced procurement leadership before they need, or can attract, a full-time chief procurement officer. We provide it for as many days as the role requires.

That means setting category strategies, leading the negotiations that matter, building the team and putting governance in place, with IICG’s category specialists behind the role when the work needs them.

How value is reported

Opportunity and outcome, never blurred.

Every saving is classified by stage, with the evidence for each stage agreed at the start.

Evidence: cost models, baselines
Stage 2

Negotiated savings

Agreed with the supplier, with terms, volumes and effective dates.

Evidence: signed quotations, agreements
Stage 3

Implemented savings

Live in purchase orders and price masters, on parts actually received.

Stage 4

Finance-validated savings

Confirmed with finance against an agreed baseline in the P&L.
