If you’re looking to work with procurement, commercial insight or integrity risk experts, you need to know you can trust the team you choose to deliver results.
That’s where we come in. Founded in 2003, Ivo is a boutique consultancy, offering analysis, advice and implementation support to help you deliver improved performance.
Through procurement best-practice, structured tenders, online auctions, negotiations and data analytics we unlock significant incremental value for clients, bringing the benefit of having worked on hundreds of deals across a wide range of industry sectors both in the UK and overseas.
Alongside our procurement work, our integrity risk practice helps clients to mitigate and manage their exposure to risks across areas such as bribery, corruption, money-laundering and ethics.
Our clients range from global business giants to private equity enterprises. The one thing they all have in common is the need for results without compromise.
Client Projects Typically Span the Following Areas:
Cost Saving Programmes
(spend analysis, opportunity assessment and delivery)
Risk, Ethics & Corruption
(regulatory gap analysis, ABC training, investigations, vendor due diligence)
Insight & Analytics
(big data, profitability analysis, range reviews, commercial problem-solving)
How We Work
We use fact-based analysis to rapidly understand and prioritise opportunities. We then work closely with clients to implement changes and build the necessary capabilities, structures and processes within their organisation.
If 15 years of building commercial relationships has taught us anything about consultant/client partnerships, it’s that transparency and integrity are key to the overall success of any project.
With that in mind, we approach every new client with the same values and considerations in mind.
