Helping Charities & Not-for-profits make effective and informed procurement decisions

We understand that in the current economic climate, charities are feeling the pinch due to cuts in central government funding and donations falling by as much as 20%. Financial health is the cornerstone on which long-term sustainability is built. For many charities, financial planning is becoming more and more difficult and their ability to deliver long-term projects is becoming less and less certain. To survive, these charities know that they must find ways of doing more with their available funds.

We recognize that as a charity, it is not financially feasible for you to employ full-time procurement specialists across the full spectrum of goods and services that you purchase. However, by engaging Auditel at the right time, independent external help that works alongside your existing operational teams can level the playing field – ensuring you achieve the very best value for money.

Auditel has worked with many charities over the years and has a deep understanding of the sector’s challenges and needs. Our procurement expertise can unlock cash that once identified, will be redirected back into your control.

Helping the Education Sector make effective and informed procurement decisions

When it comes to procurement for private or academy schools, colleges and universities, few Bursars or Financial Directors have the time or in-house resources to ensure that they are getting the very best value for money.

Rising costs, set against shrinking budgets, highlight the need to make every penny count, yet many are missing out on opportunities to make valuable savings and instead, continue to pay far too much for essential services such as energy, telecoms, catering, waste management and school supplies.

The hospitality and entertainment landscape is a competitive and evolving environment. From boutique hotels, to football stadiums managing a vast array of expenditure, making the most of available resources is an all too common problem.

Unique cost areas for these clients can include unusual forms of energy such as LPG for remote hotels, or the procurement of workwear and uniforms. For hotels with restaurant food, price inflation is a real issue and deciding on a strategy for food procurement that doesn’t compromise on quality can be a minefield for those without access to the right skills and expertise.

There is constant pressure to demonstrate client retention, business growth, and sustainable revenue streams.

Releasing cash flow through effective procurement to drive growth

In the currently challenging economic climate, organisations are constantly battling with the desire to drive growth and profitability, whilst ensuring that they are investing in the right technologies and receiving value for money from their suppliers.

From our experience, we recognise that it is not financially feasible for organisations to employ full-time procurement specialists across the full spectrum of goods and services that can be purchased.

These challenges culminate in non-purchasing trained employees making significant purchasing decisions without the tools or knowledge of the supplier market. This puts them at a huge disadvantage when negotiating with suppliers that have a very clear understanding of the real costs and the margins built into contracts.

When engaged at the right time, such as when negotiating prices and contracts with suppliers, independent external help that works alongside your existing operational teams, can level the playing field thereby ensuring you achieve the very best value for money from your suppliers.

Delivering Carbon Management Solutions to Reduce your Emissions and Costs

In the current challenging economic climate, organisations are battling with the desire to drive growth and profitability, whilst investing in low carbon emitting technologies to reduce their carbon footprint and speed up their journey to becoming Carbon Neutral and achieving Net Zero emission targets.

NET ZERO DOES NOT HAVE TO COST THE EARTH

Auditel is a team of carbon footprint consultants who help organisations like yours reduce their carbon emissions and costs at the same time.

ACHIEVE BSI SPECIFICATION FOR CARBON NEUTRALITY

With the UK Government’s commitment to a low carbon world and net zero targets by 2050, the drive to carbon neutrality and achieving net zero is dominating organisations’ future decision-making. However, many organisations believe the changes that they will have to make to achieve net zero carbon emissions will be time-consuming, costly and with all the conflicting information, a little daunting. This is far from the truth, as there are many incentives to help businesses become greener and leaner without costing the earth.

Using Auditel’s simple 4 step process (shown below), our experienced carbon neutral consultants can help your organisation demystify and provide clarity to this complex subject of achieving net zero. Our carbon management consulting services deliver expert guidance and resources so you can achieve an NQA or BSI recognised specification for carbon neutrality (PAS 2060) as soon as possible, while you progress on the longer-term net zero journey.
