Three Engagements, Each with a Clear Purpose
Kettlevane offers three focused consulting services. Each is scoped, priced, and delivered as a standalone engagement — you do not need to engage on all three to benefit from any one of them.

How We Approach Each Engagement
Scoping
Written scope agreed before any work begins. Clear boundaries, defined deliverables, fixed fee confirmed.
Discovery
Structured review of current processes, documentation, and stakeholder conversations. No assumptions.
Analysis
Findings organised into a clear picture of current state, risk areas, and priority opportunities.
Delivery
Report or framework delivered and walked through with your team. Questions answered, next steps clarified.
Service 01
Supply Chain Evaluation
A considered review of your end-to-end supply chain — from sourcing through production to distribution. This service identifies vulnerabilities, cost concentration points, and areas where greater flexibility may be beneficial.
Delivered as a diagnostic report with visual flow mapping and practical recommendations. Designed for companies that want to understand their supply chain more deeply before making changes.

Who This Is For
Companies that have been operating for several years and whose supply chain has grown organically. Distribution businesses managing multiple sourcing relationships. Manufacturers facing cost pressure who want to understand where it originates before making changes.
Who This Is For
Organisations managing a growing or complex vendor portfolio — particularly those where vendor relationships have developed informally and lack clear criteria or review processes. Businesses that have experienced vendor reliability issues or contract ambiguity.
Service 02
Vendor Relationship Strategy
Examines your current vendor ecosystem — contracts, dependencies, performance, and relationship dynamics. The service helps you develop a more intentional approach to vendor management, including segmentation frameworks and partnership criteria.
Delivered as a strategic overview with templates for ongoing vendor evaluation. Useful for organisations managing a growing or complex vendor portfolio.
Current vendor portfolio review and dependency mapping
Contract and performance assessment across key vendors
Vendor segmentation framework tailored to your structure
Partnership criteria and evaluation templates
Strategic overview document with recommended next steps

Intended for companies whose procurement has evolved organically and may benefit from greater consistency. Delivered over four weeks with implementation guidance.

Who This Is For

Structured check-ins at defined intervals. You know where the engagement stands at each stage.
Quality-Reviewed Deliverables
Final reports reviewed internally before delivery to ensure accuracy and clarity.
Post-Delivery Support
A brief follow-up after delivery to address questions and confirm findings are understood.
Fixed-Fee Transparency
No hourly billing. No scope creep without agreement. The fee you agree is the fee you pay.
Not Sure Which Service Fits?
