$50M+ Year-One Savings

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.
