We have just finished our latest version of Market Intelligence, our quarterly publication giving you insight and market analysis to achieve better value from suppliers.
This issue introduces you to our recent survey of procurement professionals, which we conducted alongside the Chartered Institute (CIPS). It looks at the role of procurement within organisations and looks to gauge the responses of procurement teams to a post-Brexit world.
Also in this issue we look at managing your assets in the world of Facilities Management, and in April, the water market deregulates and the Ratings List is published after a longer-than-usual wait, so our Water and Property specialists consider the implications – and opportunities for business.
Our Postage experts introduce the concept of ‘hybrid mail’ as a way to save, and our Communications team highlight the long awaited split of BT & Openreach. Our Distribution expert looks at what Brexit may mean for our import and export of goods, and the Banking & Payments team look at what you can do to mitigate price increases for high value card transactions.
Finally, there is a Catering update – looking at rising food prices and the reasons behind them, as well as some thought provoking articles on applying the Pareto Principle in procurement and how you can put yourself on the path to world-class procurement, from one of our CIPS qualified procurement experts.
