If properly planned, sourced and executed, outsourcing non-core functions is a means to provide a business with the correct solution at an attractive price. However, the large number of well documented failures clearly illustrates the pitfalls of getting it wrong.

Square Mile Sourcing provides a comprehensive package of IT and Business Process Outsourcing services covering the entire life-cycle, specifically tailored to our clients needs. We have experience of dealing with the large service providers and our focus is to ensure you make the correct sourcing solution, one that will deliver planned goals within the target costs.


Square Mile Sourcing clients benefit from our consolidated industry experience which is built into our constantly evolving project method and governance, all supported by appropriate process templates.



Choosing the right supplier is vital to deliver successful outsourced services. Each supplier has different characteristics and each has strengths and weaknesses depending on many factors including size, expertise, industry sector and specialisation, capability, capacity, flexibility, current portfolio, order book, etc. Once the decision is taken to place a tender it is vital to have an objective method of evaluation. Built on years of experience, Square Mile Sourcing has created a method to help make the right choice for your specific needs.



A change in business circumstances or strategy can be the downfall of an outsourcing contract. We work closely with clients to understand which elements of business are most likely to change. By factoring these into supplier negotiations, we can help ensure the eventual contract provides sufficient options for future change.



Capturing and incorporating the important commercial and technical elements required from a contract is complex.  Our experience of working with specialist outsourcing law firms will ensure you consider such matters fully and allow you to decide which elements should be included in your legal contract.



These activities can be time consuming and often require skills not readily available in an organisation that has been running a successful in-house operation. Square Mile Sourcing has helped many clients in this specialist area through providing expertise and, wherever possible, a template approach is adopted designed to provide a solution in the shortest achievable time-frame.



Benchmarking can provide an invaluable insight into so many aspects of sourcing. However it is an activity that has to be properly scoped and managed if the anticipated value is to be delivered. We have experience of managing benchmarking exercises, from relatively small to large and complex including full-scope IT.
