AWARDS REVIEW

The Procurement Consultancy Award honours consultancies demonstrating expertise and providing strategic guidance to clients to optimise their procurement processes . These companies have provided exceptional expertise and guidance to clients , driving procurement excellence and delivering measurable results .

CooperVision , a leading contact lens manufacturer , has undergone a significant procurement transformation with the help of consultancy firm Argon . The project aimed to address challenges arising from the company ’ s rapid growth and the industry shift towards daily disposable lenses , which increased demand and logistical complexities . Argon ’ s approach began with a comprehensive 12-week operational review , analysing CooperVision ’ s logistics procurement processes and costs . This initial phase involved consolidating data from 160 sources into an interactive dashboard , providing valuable insights into costs , flows and carbon emissions . The consultancy then engaged in a 14-week implementation phase , managing end-to-end tendering processes and optimising working capital .

A key aspect of Argon ’ s methodology was the use of its proprietary tool .
