Locations: The Coach House, Watling Street, Weedon, Northamptonshire, NN7 4QG

Introduction

When outsourcing is undertaken correctly, it can significantly reduce logistics costs and provide your company with a real competitive advantage. However, too many times clients are left disappointed and dissatisfied with contractor’s performance once operations go live.  Often companies limp on preferring to accept a sub standard service rather than risk the potential upheaval of changing the contractor.  In the worst case, relationships completely break down resulting in a rapid and poorly planned exit.

Davies & Robson are running a three-hour workshop on the 26th June 2018 to ensure problems are avoided and that the expectations developed during the procurement process are fully met once the operation goes live.

Agenda

The session will cover:

  • When and when not to outsource - Key decision factors

  • Preparation and decisions required prior to outsourcing

  • Determining the most appropriate pricing method for your operation

  • How to ensure a high level of engagement from qualified contractors

  • Key inclusions within the Invitation To Tender document

  • What to include in the selection process

  • Preparing a contractual agreement that works

  • How to ensure contractors deliver on their promises
