“As a membership organisation, it is important that the Conservative Party obtains maximum value for money on the goods and services it buys.

We engaged the services of a leading procurement consultant, Mike Buchanan, the Chief Executive of LPS.  During the course of a year-long assignment, he negotiated contracts that are markedly improving the Party's bottom line, and we continue to rely on his firm's experience and expertise in procurement-related matters.”

“When I was appointed Finance Director, I knew that I was joining a first-class firm which was well managed, but which could achieve higher levels of profitability.

First Counsel Consulting secured the services of a procurement expert from LPS Legal.   The results were spectacular.   We have seen a return of between 10:1 and 15:1, with the savings involved running into the millions.”

“Norton Rose identified a need to reduce costs and increase profits for its partners. Over the past 7 months we have identified an astounding £3.5 million annualised cost saving, with targets for further savings next year.  The key cost reduction areas were in IT, telecoms, travel, credit cards and agency fees.  We did this by using a senior interim manager, Paul Chandler.  We achieved a fantastic return on our investment in his services, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other legal firms.”

“All firms must manage their procurement of goods and services effectively.  In 2005 we have targeted savings and engaged LPS Legal, the specialist procurement firm, to help us.

They have streamlined our buying systems and delivered significant cost savings.  LPS Legal's experience and dedication has been vital to the success of our cost-cutting exercise, and their appointment has been wholly justified.”
