Opportunity Assessment Project
The Opportunity Assessment project has identified over £15 million of potential savings across 22 local authorities in the South West. Over 80,000 transactions with £12.5m spend is being made with only 5 key suppliers who are already set up to accept pcards- moving these transactions to pcard would bring over £2m savings alone! Adopting the top 5 non-visa enabled suppliers would cover an additional 31,500 transactions, £4.5m spend and make a further £900k saving.
