Challenges
As a result of several acquisitions, City & Guilds Group’s c.900 connections were split across five contracts with three different network providers, including one contract that was sourced through an independent mobile phone agent.
The procurement team identified a large increase in actual vs. projected costs of its main O2 contract. City & Guilds Group stipulated that Billmonitor’s remuneration was based on delivering results, agreeing on a success-only approach to ensure they were only paying for actual savings.
Solution
Using the unique Billmonitor software, Billmonitor identified significant cash-saving actions:

“While City & Guilds Group has always been very cost conscious, the complexity of managing nearly 900 connections across five contracts made it very difficult for the procurement team to identify cash savings; something our Billmonitor software could discover in a few hours.
What started as a one-off account review turned into an 18-month mandate to maximise savings and to improve expense monitoring and reporting across the group.”
