Start by getting a better breakdown of your spend, it’s the first principle for all Procurement Managers. There are companies such as Roslyn Analytics and Spikes Cavell that can analyse your spend to provide you with a detailed breakdown. Only ever look at the AP (Accounts Payable) data, which is actual money you have paid out to your suppliers. PO or contract spend can be misleading.

Don’t look to buy the actual goods yourself, you should be able to buy a managed travel service through one supplier. One member of your team should be able to manage that supplier relationship and a few more...

Typically, depending on what business you are in the rest of the £30m will be made up of IT; HR; Facilities and MRO (Stationary and operational items). Bet IT will be the next biggest area of spend and you should look to buy a managed service/outsource provision of IT and then manage that relationship.
