Case Study: Mintel achieves major cost savings and strategic procurement gains with Auditel

Long-term partnership brings strategic gains for intelligence giant Mintel

Mintel, a global market intelligence agency, sought to reduce costs and improve efficiency across its operational expenditures. They engaged Auditel, a cost management consultancy, to provide expertise in strategic procurement for various services and assets.

Auditel implemented a long-term partnership, conducting detailed reviews and tenders for multiple categories including mobile phones, vehicle fleets, office services, and utilities. This process delivered substantial savings, such as 41% on mobile contracts and 29% on a subsequent renewal, while also ensuring seamless service transitions and providing access to specialist market knowledge. The collaboration freed up internal resources and provided Mintel with the strategic insight and discipline needed to make confident, informed procurement decisions.
