Case Studies

Amplify partnered with a $1B ASX-listed education organisation to build a strategic technology procurement function while delivering immediate commercial value. Over 40 best-practice templates across sourcing and contract management were implemented, including establishing new vendor management and P2P capabilities. The engagement executed 11 complex sourcing activities and $1.7M in contract renewals, delivering $4.4M savings. This uplift embedded sustainable procurement capability, reduced cycle times, and strengthened contract compliance, positioning the client for scalable, long-term value delivery.

A Victorian state government body engaged Amplify to simplify its procurement landscape and ensure compliance to state legislative requirements. Amplify conducted a comprehensive review and refresh of all relevant polices, processes, and documentation - identifying redundancy and improving workflows. Part of the transformation included the development of a bespoke Guided Buying Tool, designed to support users in compliant and consistent procurement activities. To aid with change management, Amplify developed dedicated training to embed the new practices across the department.

Following a procurement maturity review, a leading international hospitality group re-engaged Amplify to address critical gaps in contract management. Amplify facilitated stakeholder workshops to define functional requirements, conducted a comprehensive market scan, and led a formal tender process for a new Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution. In parallel, Amplify designed a three-phase contract management framework encompassing mobilisation, active management, and conclusion. By introducing clear contract categorisation and defined roles and responsibilities, we established a robust structure for effective lifecycle oversight, driving long-term cost optimisation and operational consistency across our client's diverse venue portfolio.

A leading international hospitality group engaged Amplify to identify savings opportunities and assess procurement maturity following rapid growth via acquisitions. Amplify conducted a comprehensive spend analysis, delivering a roadmap of 14 key initiatives targeting $1.1M-$2.6M in annual savings. These findings informed a function review to transition the group toward a strategic procurement function. The resulting transformation plan provided actionable insights, risk mitigation, and strengthened governance required to sustain the organisation's expansion and ensure long-term commercial success.

A major private healthcare provider engaged Amplify to deliver a spend optimisation program, beginning with an extensive opportunity assessment and concluding with the delivery of a two-year spend optimisation roadmap. Amplify initially analysed spend and purchasing behaviour across critical hospital categories, integrating clinical stakeholder interviews with industry benchmarking to identify 13 high-impact initiatives. Over a period of 24-months, Amplify managed the implementation of these projects across Pharmacy, Medical Consumables, Medical Equipment, and Prostheses, covering $36M in annual addressable spend. As a result of the collaborative clinical engagement, the partnership successfully delivered over $5M in financial benefits and generated $2M in revenue while embedding a category-led management model for our client.

One of Australia's largest energy companies engaged Amplify to undertake a Procurement Policy refresh and re-design of end-to-end procurement processes. The focus was on eliminating inefficiencies, while improving commercial outcomes. Amplify adopted a material risk approach to the policy refresh, which supported a more agile and proportionate approach to procurement delivery. This then underpinned the procurement process re-design and enabled the removal of over 50 redundant steps and over 40 surplus templates, resulting in streamlined ways of working and improved efficiency across the procurement lifecycle.

Australia's largest supermarket retailer engaged Amplify to project manage the rollout of a comprehensive supplier management capability program. The program aimed to instil a business-wide, standardised supplier management framework (including supplier lifecycle management, contract management, performance management, risk management, and value generation). Over the course of a year, Amplify developed supplier management processes, underpinned by technology, before successfully delivering a pilot program for the assessment and onboarding of key suppliers in parallel to upskilling process stakeholders. The project improved supplier segmentation, strengthened risk management, and built the foundations for stronger, more collaborative supplier relationships across our clients' network.

Alongside a Procurement Function Review, a leading veterinary services provider engaged Amplify to analyse spend and purchasing practices across direct and indirect categories. Through deep-dive market analysis and clinical stakeholder engagement, Amplify identified 15 strategic initiatives targeting $12M-$19M (6-9%) in annual savings. Following validation, a structured multi-phase delivery plan was developed transitioning ownership to the client's internal team. This approach ensured the new procurement function was upskilled and empowered to sustain long-term value and operational excellence across the clinic network.

A leading public and private hospital group were seeking to uplift procurement capability, with a focus on instilling category management principles across their procurement function. Amplify ran a detailed capability assessment to understand team strengths and areas for growth. Utilising self-assessment tools, collaborative workshops and moderation sessions, the insights informed custom category management training. The training was conducted over a 1-day session, with interactive workshops and activities which saw the teams prepare and partially complete category plans for their respective categories. The training resulted in a 41% competency uplift across Category Management principles.

Our client was seeking to develop Australian suppliers and supply markets to focus on investing into Australian sovereign defence capability. Amplify were engaged to enable the SRM Framework. Deliverables included segmenting suppliers in accordance with our clients' priorities, developing SRM procedures, tools, and artefacts to support the implementation.

By futureproofing the ways of working, the engagement has empowered the client to drive effective, scalable procurement outcomes with a focus on risk mitigation.

Australia's largest poultry produce company engaged Amplify to deliver a full procurement transformation focused on building capability, improving governance, and driving measurable results.

The program achieved $15.5M savings in year one, improved procurement maturity and identified a further $20-28M in future savings opportunities.

A state government-based sports and entertainment venue operator sought to digitise its procurement function, by augmenting AI solutions. To design the digital procurement transformation, Amplify conducted end-to-end procurement process mapping, capturing roles and responsibilities and approval points, existing procurement and business technology, and AI policies and governance. Comprehensive workshops were conducted to document functional requirements and to ensure new user journeys aligned with proposed technology solutions. Evaluating opportunities against risk and value, Amplify developed a prioritised multi-year roadmap initially targeting intake orchestration, contract lifecycle management and spend analytics.

A leading public teaching hospital in Victoria partnered with Amplify to establish an integrated Facilities Management contract, through a go-to-market exercise. The tender resulted in $750k cost savings, a shift towards preventative maintenance that will realise an additional $5M savings over the life of the contract. In addition to the substantial savings, the new contract gave our client greater consistency in service levels, increased data accuracy, transparency, and enhanced asset planning.

Alongside an Opportunity Assessment, a leading veterinary services network engaged Amplify to improve its current Procurement function. We conducted a deep dive analysis to rate the maturity of our client against each element of the Amplify Procurement Operating Model. The assessment involved significant analysis of data, current practice, systems, industry, and the supply market. We obtained perspectives of those working within the organisation though engaging stakeholder interviews. Collectively, this resulted in a future state procurement design and implementation roadmap that enables a clear pathway for maturity uplift and positions our clients Procurement function as established and capable of supporting future growth.
