Understand your true commercial position with key technology suppliers
Most organisations don’t know whether their supplier commercials are genuinely competitive. Over time, contracts drift, suppliers entrench, and commercial leverage erodes.
We provide an independent, market data-led view of supplier cost, contract structure, and risk exposure. We show leadership teams where they stand versus the market, what leverage exists, and where intervention would deliver the greatest impact.
This creates a clear foundation for action, renegotiation, cost reduction, risk mitigation, or governance improvement based on fact, not assumption.
We specialise in technology-driven environments, but support any organisation where technology supplier relationships represent a material commercial or operational risk.

​
Our Approach
Our approach is independent, evidence based and commercially focused. We assess technology supplier costs, contract structures and risks against the market to give a clear objective view of their true commercial position
​
Our Story
Swan Procurement was founded in 2022 by Michael Burt, a former Chief Procurement Officer to address a recurring issue seen across boards, CFO's and private equity teams: organisations often lack an independent, fact-based view of their true commercial position with key technology suppliers.
​
As supplier contracts grow in value and complexity, and market conditions change, commercial leverage can erode quietly. CFO's and leadership teams are then required to make decisions on cost, risk and renewal strategy without clear visibility of how current arrangements compare to the market.
Sw\
Swan Procurement was created to provide independent commercial positioning assessments and senior procurement expertise on demand. Our work gives decision makers clarity on supplier cost, contract structure, and risk exposure, enabling confident action on renegotiation, re-contracting, or governance intervention without the delay or cost of building permanent internal capability.
​
Today we work with FTSE-listed and private equity backed organisations, supporting CFO's, CIO's, operating partners and procurement leaders in protecting value, managing risk and strengthening commecial outcomes with startegic technology suppliers. ​

Our values are our DNA. They are the foundation of how we support our clients to succeed

We will tell you immediately if we can’t help. We only put your interests first.
Excellence
We consistently deliver the highest quality of work possible.
“Good” is not good enough, only excellence will do.

Why are we different ?
We are procurement practitioners first and consultants second.
​
For over 20 years, we have operated inside FTSE-listed and private-equity backed organisations, where procurement outcomes have a direct and measurable impact on EBITDA, cash flow and risk.
​
We bring commercial judgement built from real decisions, not theoretical frameworks. We understand how supplier leverage is gained and lost, how contracts drift over time and where value and risk quietly accumulate.
We work exclusively with senior, hands-on procurement professionals. This allows us to provide independent commercial positioning insight and deliver results faster, with lower execution risk and lower cost than traditional procurement consultancies - without unnecessary complexity or slideware.
