Private Equity
A global private equity firm wanted to establish a strong internal procurement capability that could deliver measurable savings while setting the foundation for long-term value. Instead of hiring a large in-house team, the firm engaged Valorant to provide both immediate impact and scalable processes.
Our Approach
Over 18 months, Valorant acted as the firm’s extended procurement team:
- IT Sourcing: Rationalized software and infrastructure spend, consolidated vendors, and ran benchmark-backed negotiations.
- Professional Services: Standardized rate cards, optimized engagement models, and embedded governance for external advisory spend.
- Market Data: Conducted a full opportunity assessment, streamlined suppliers, and negotiated contracts to reduce duplication and overlap.
- Function Build-Out: Developed category strategies, spend taxonomies, and governance playbooks to form the foundation of a scalable procurement model.
Results
- Delivered $50M in savings across IT, Professional Services, and Market Data.
- Built a procurement function from the ground up without requiring a large internal team.
- Created a repeatable operating model with category playbooks, renewal governance, and spend analytics to sustain value delivery.
Why It Matters
By leveraging Valorant as a partner, the firm accelerated procurement maturity, achieved significant corporate savings, and established procurement as a strategic lever across the business.
