Inzpire Outsourcing Services
In the early 1980s, defence spending was 5% of GDP. Today, it’s less than half that at just 2.3%. The financial pressure on the UK defence industry is immense. More and more companies are competing for fewer and fewer contracts. Against this backdrop, corporate overheads remain high, particularly of personnel. Only the strong and the flexible will survive.
In an ideal world, most companies would like to cut overheads and increase competitive edge (but without losing critical capability). Inzpire can help you do this. We specialise in defence outsourcing and can provide very experienced personnel on daily, short-term and longer term contracts, as a cost-effective alternative to permanent staff. Our people have unrivalled joint-Service military experience and can help you differentiate your company from competitors. We are particularly capable in Project Management, Bid Management and Business Development. We also have the skills to improve cost structures, optimise service levels and strengthen your competitive position, all without losing capability. Finally, we have the experience to produce flexible and scalable solutions, giving you rapid benefits with minimum risk.
Some of the main areas where Inzpire can deliver expertise are:
- Project Management – our personnel have managed major defence procurements running into £100Ms. We have experience both within the customer and supplier domains. We are also trained in PRINCE2, MSP and M_O_R, which are the project, programme and risk management methodologies endorsed by the Office of Government Commerce.
- Bid Management – We can undertake entire bids or supply key personnel for isolated critical areas. Our Bid Management experts are highly experienced across the defence sector and also have considerable exposure to the customer and supplier domains.
- Business Development – Inzpire is extremely knowledgeable and completely up-to-date with defence trends and requirements. We have unique access across defence and can connect your company with the military need, both today and in the future.
- Training – Inzpire has a fantastic pedigree in delivering cutting edge, focussed and highly credible training, as demonstrated by our acclaimed work for the British military.
- Product Development – Many Inzpire staff have a deep test and evaluation background which, when aligned with our operational experience and focus, allows us to offer products that meet the Customer need, first time.
Inzpire prides itself on avoiding conflicts of interest through refusing to take on work from clients that are competing in the same market area as existing customers. Confidentiality is completely assured.
Outside of defence, this type of outsourcing is a common core component of general business strategy that allows rapid adjustment to market conditions. It allows companies to export financial risk and control overheads. Many defence companies could benefit from this approach in the current market conditions.
