Why Cutting Costs Beats Chasing Turnover

The Margin Maths

Option A) £50,000 Profit = £1,000,000 New Revenue (at 5% margin)

Option B) £50,000 Cost Reduction = £50,000 Profit

Option A requires winning and delivering £1 million of new work. Option B requires 
reducing supplier costs by £50,000. Same profit 
impact. Less risk. Immediate 
bottom-line benefit.

Lack of Time & Resource

When was the last time your business underwent a complete audit of total expenditure, supplier spend and 
reviewed your purchasing function? 

The problem is not incompetence. It's that leaders are busy running the operation, serving clients, and managing teams. If you haven’t been regularly reviewing your spend, you’re 
almost certainly overpaying suppliers by 10% - 30%.

How confident are you that you are maximising your profit margin and getting the best price and value out of your suppliers?

Budgets are set relying on historical data. Regularly reviewing supplier pricing, 
comprehensively benchmarking the market and tightening purchasing controls rarely make it off the to do list.

PM Procure identifies where you are overspending, prioritises the quickest wins, and provides detailed analysis for long-term solutions.

Peace of Mind | Total Cost Control | Guaranteed Business Transformation

Where your Money Leaks & Commercial Blindspots

1. Merchant Accounts That Aren't Rebenchmarked

Pricing locked in years ago and rarely 
challenged.
What started as convenience has quietly turned into unnecessary overspend.

2. Convenience Over Value

Purchasing from the easiest or most familiar suppliers. Simple - but costly. 
Better value options are ignored every day.

3. Cash Flow Drained by Weak Payment Terms

Paying invoices earlier than required or missing early‑payment discounts. 
Small inefficiencies compounding into 
constant cash flow pressure.

4. Hidden Waste & Unnecessary Spend

Multiple suppliers for the same items. Poor forecasting. Excess materials. 
Duplicate orders, maverick buying, and 
legacy spend that no one ever questions.

5. Fuel, Haulage & Delivery Surcharges Unqueried

Line Items that appear on invoices and get paid without checking

6. Recurring Supplier Friction

Invoice issues, pricing disputes, delivery problems.
Operational noise that wastes time and 
distracts teams from real priorities.


Over £5 million in savings have been identified, verified and recovered for Infrastructure, Construction & Engineering Firms across the U.K.



 

Why PM Procure?

Profit Margin Increase 
12% to 20% Margin Increase

A Leicestershire precision 
engineering firm was machining over 180 parts on 12% margins, buying raw materials and 
consumables through 9 different suppliers with little visibility on wehther they were paying a fair rate.

After a full spend analysis and supplier 
benchmarking, they consolidated their buying and 
lifted margins to 20% across the range without raising pricies or sacrificing quality.

Supplier Spend Reduction
£152,000 Single Saving

A Warwickshire based 
infrastructure company a faced rising costs, limited supplier 
competition, and a procurement model that wasn’t delivering the technical performance they needed.

Through The Cost Reduction Solution, they saved £152,000 in a single event and received higher technical capability through 
increased competition by PM Procure introducing a revitalised procurement model.

Category Recovery 22% Cost Cut, Critical Path Recovered

A Midlands based construction firm were buying all valves and line pipes through legacy 
contracts consistently expensive and delayed in delivery.

 

Following a detailed spend 
analysis and comprehensive benchmarking, they retendered the category properly. Resulting in a 22% cut in valve and line pipe costs and lead times brought back under control through responsive suppliers that stopped 
programme delays
