Outsourced supplier management

Your suppliers, managed.

Renewal tracking, contract organisation and supplier communications taken completely off your plate by a real person, on a flat monthly retainer. Nothing auto-renews without a decision. Nothing slips through the cracks.

A person, not a portal. Built for growing UK businesses with no procurement function, and no time to build one.

Your Monthly Health Report
An excerpt. Yours arrives on the last working day of every month.

Fleet maintenance 90 days out
Renewal is approaching. We've prepared your options and opened the conversation early, well inside the notice window.

IT support agreement In hand
They proposed an 8% increase. We've pushed back with market comparisons and expect to conclude below last year's rate.

Utilities supply Your decision
We've served notice so this can't auto-renew. You now choose on your terms, with the three options summarised overleaf.

Written by a person. Read in five minutes. No logins, no dashboards. It simply arrives.
The problem

Somebody should be managing your suppliers. Right now, nobody is.

Most growing businesses have dozens of supplier contracts, signed in a rush, filed nowhere in particular, and quietly renewing on the supplier's terms.

£

Contracts auto-renew

Notice periods pass unnoticed. Contracts roll over at a higher rate, and you're locked in for another year before anyone realises.

?

No visibility

Nobody can say what you're contracted to, with whom, until when, or what it all costs. Finding a contract means searching three inboxes.

90

No time to fix it

You know it needs sorting. Between running the operation and everything else, supplier admin never reaches the top of the list.

What we do

A complete supplier management function. Without the hire.

Everything below is included every month, on every retainer. One flat fee, no hidden extras, and no software for your team to learn.

Your supplier register

An accurate, always-current record of every supplier, contract term, renewal date and key contact, maintained by us and shared with you.

Renewal tracking

Alerts at 90, 60 and 30 days before every renewal. Nothing auto-renews without a conscious decision from you.

Supplier communications

Routine correspondence, chasing and queries handled on your behalf, so suppliers deal with us, not your inbox.

Monthly health report

A clear, jargon-free summary of what's active, what's coming up and what needs attention on the last working day of every month.

Contract filing

Every contract organised in one accessible place, clearly labelled. No more searching three inboxes for a PDF.

Renegotiation support

When a renewal comes up, we handle the conversation: price increases challenged, terms improved, alternatives flagged.

Human-led, always

A real person manages your suppliers and answers your queries the same working day. AI helps us be thorough. Judgement stays human.

Flat fee, no surprises

One predictable monthly retainer covers the full service. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no invoice anxiety.

Nothing needed from you

Fully outsourced. After a light-touch onboarding month, your time commitment is a short monthly read and the occasional decision.

The people doing the work

Not a platform. A desk, with people at it.

There's no software to log into and no ticket queue. Your suppliers are looked after by people who read contracts, write letters, make calls and chase responses.

When you email us, a person replies the same working day. When a renewal needs handling, a person handles it. That's the whole point.

A week at the desk

What looking after your suppliers actually looks like, day to day.

MonInboxes and folders scanned. Every client's supplier correspondence reviewed; anything urgent flagged before mid-morning.
TueContract review day. New agreements read properly, including notice periods, auto-renewal clauses and price review terms.
WedSupplier conversations. Chasing responses, opening renegotiations and requesting paperwork on your behalf, in your interest.
ThuReports and check-ins. Monthly health reports written by hand, and a short call with any client who wants one.
FriRenewal calendars reviewed. The next 90 days walked through client by client, so nothing arrives as a surprise the following week.
The first 90 days

Value you can see before the first quarter is out.

By day 90 you'll have complete visibility of your supplier base, a managed renewal pipeline, and in most cases your first saving already banked.

Start with a call
Days 1-30

Everything found, filed and mapped

We gather every contract, build your supplier register, and map every renewal date.

Days 31-60

The pipeline goes live

Renewal alerts begin. Anything approaching its notice window is flagged with a recommendation.

Days 61-90

First results land

Your first renegotiations conclude, your second monthly health report arrives, and supplier admin disappears from your to-do list.

Onboarding

Three weeks to fully managed.

Onboarding is deliberately thorough. It's where we do the heavy lifting so the ongoing service runs quietly. Your total time commitment across it: two to three hours.

Week One

Discovery

A 60-90 minute call to map your suppliers, understand where it hurts, and confirm where contracts live.

Week Two

Gathering & building

You share what you have. We sort, organise and chase the gaps, then build your complete supplier register.

Week Three

Review & go live

Your register is shared for review, a handover call walks you through it, and ongoing management begins.

Why onboarding matters: the register we build in those first weeks is the foundation everything else runs on.
Who this is for

Built for the business that's grown faster than its admin.

Supplier Desk works best for owner-run businesses where the MD or FD is the de facto procurement department and would rather not be.

Twenty minutes. That's all it takes to find out if this fits.

A short call, a rough count of your suppliers, and an honest answer about whether Supplier Desk is right for your business. No pitch deck, no pressure.
