SCP Infrastructure: Fuelling growth through early engagement
SCP Infrastructure uses Insights pre-procurement and spend data to identify opportunities early, proactively engage with prospects, and build strategic alliances.
SCP Infrastructure is a transportation planning and highway infrastructure design consultancy which has been successfully delivering transport solutions to both private and public sector clients for over 30 years. Part of the RSK group of companies, SCP has provided services to a wide variety of public sector organisations, supporting their highways, transport, wayfinding and drainage needs across the UK.
Background
Given its strong reputation and successful delivery within the public sector, SCP wanted to build on this experience to fuel growth and create new opportunities for the teams.
To be successful, SCP recognised the need to engage early with prospective customers, to understand their needs, and to build the alliances and partnerships necessary to fulfil the requirements of any future project. Their clients also benefit from this early engagement process through an advanced understanding of project and financial risk, ultimately leading to predictable and confident delivery.
As the team at SCP are based out of offices across the UK and work with partners throughout the country, the business was also keen to identify prospects and opportunities by region.
The Solution
SCP chose Oxygen Insights to provide Public Sector pre-procurement and spend data. As well as reporting on spending, Oxygen Insights summarises future tender intelligence from cabinet and board papers, committee reports, decision notices, and a variety of other sources, highlighting opportunities before they go to tender.
The team at SCP are immediately notified of potential projects that meet their strategic aims, so they never miss out on an opportunity.
By using accurate data to identify projects early and gain a thorough understanding of the market, the team at SCP can engage with clients and partners much sooner, better focus their resources and expertise.
"If you're responding to a tender with no prior knowledge of the requirements, your chances of success are significantly reduced. As such the pre-procurement intelligence we gain from Insights delivers real value to the business.
Insights allows us to engage with the client much earlier in the process, to fully understand their needs and objectives, whilst being able to see previous spend in this area and identify competitors. We can thoroughly plan our approach as a design partner; reviewing contractors and making alliances prior to tender.
For SCP, success comes from having visibility of opportunities at a time when we can still influence, and this is exactly what Insights gives us."
