When was the last time you ran a microscope over your contract spend?
Studies have shown that organisations are regularly charged for out of contract expenses by service providers that they were not obligated to pay under their contracts.
BRS has seen practical examples in the degree of millions of dollars where this has occurred. The challenge organisations often face is finding the time to commercially review contract expenditure due to moving on to the next project or not having the right skills to undertake the reviews.
BRS can provide independent commercial reviews of contract expenditure with the aim of identifying over billings, cost savings and lessons learnt. This involves our experienced team reviewing contracts and billings to identify cost savings through applying our intimate knowledge of the tips and techniques used by consultants and other service providers.
