BCG Bridgepoint Ltd
BCG Bridgepoint Ltd is a Supply Chain Consultancy helping suppliers to find their rightful place in the right supply chains.
In current commercial sectors the successful suppliers are the ones who fulfil two important criteria:
- they are known to offer value for money, but beyond that
- they have established their reputation as a 'worthy' supplier.
We at BCG Bridgepoint understand the needs of contractors and what list of characteristics it is that makes an ideal supplier for them. Whether they are trying to win private sector contracts or public sector contracts, we can help prospective suppliers to become successful by fulfilling these two criteria.
The characteristics of a 'worthy' supplier are defined differently by individual contractors, and so the task of fitting the bill can be confusing.
BCG Bridgepoint offers a service to prospective suppliers to help them develop their profile to meet the needs of the supply chains in which they wish to operate. To be successful this profile has to be more than a façade, or an impression. It has to be a reflection of the real operational performance of the supplier. Trying to adopt new methods that are not natural for an organisation is perhaps the biggest single category of wasted investment in commercial life.
Our business, therefore, is to help a supplier find the operational improvements that fit the nature of the company and that the supplier's team can take ownership of and commit to. This is the only way to establish a profile that clients can recognise as 'worthy'.
Establishing this profile is the first step, and the second step is to promote it to the supply chain partners. On a personal, face to face level no-one can do this better than the supplier. But, on a systems level BCG Bridgepoint is the most cost-effective resource to achieve success. Pushing the profile through the right portals at the right time is a task that can best be done by third party professionals, leaving the supplier's own resources to concentrate on personal contact, relationship building and operational delivery.
BCG Bridgepoint has helped suppliers to win local and national contracts, and helped suppliers to win non-contract business through using public information for their own advantage. And we can do the same for you, if you want to be known as a worthy supplier.
"We look forward to working with you."
