Outsourcing and third party management...

Too many outsourcing programmes fail. The initial objectives are unrealised, expectations were unrealistic, service providers did not resource the operations correctly, initial data was incomplete or incorrect, the reasons for outsourcing were poorly articulated and inadequately communicated internally, there was too little preparation. The reasons are endless. But the result is often the same, namely a breakdown in operations, a collapse in business and relationships in disarray.

At Bisham we have experience from both sides, as service providers and buyers. We have developed a proven methodology that assists all parties to achieve success. Our Seven Stage Process has helped many clients to achieve their objectives and long lasting and mutually beneficial relationships.

Because Bisham Consulting is an independent consulting firm, with no affiliation to any logistics service providers, equipment manufacturers or transport operators, you are guaranteed total neutrality in any solution proposed.

Our consultants are skilled negotiators for major third party contractors and own account operations with years of experience in the whole process of managing outsourcing projects. Bisham can help with supplier selection and evaluation, specification of KPIs, the creation of tailor made Invitations to Tender, the preparation and negotiation of contracts. As well as the key requirements of relationship building and getting people to work together. When required we will also manage or assist in the implementation.

We will also provide regular audits of new and on-going third-party logistics contracts... more about our auditing service

Bisham can project manage outsourcing contracts from concept to implementation. We also assist customers and contractors in identifying the problems and providing practical solutions when relationships break down. We play an independent role and act as "honest broker" to help operations recover and develop in a more constructive manner.

Bisham also works for third party contractors to prepare contract bids for new and existing business. The tasks involve bid management and presentation, solution development, recruitment and costing options as well as profit analysis.
