Introduction

The global multi-process Procurement Outsourcing (PO) market maintained its robust momentum and recorded a sturdy growth of 12% in 2014. Both organic and inorganic growth contributed to overall increase in the market size. The value proposition of PO is evolving, with focus not only on cost reduction but also on strategic value beyond costs. Hence, the solution characteristics of PO contracts are also witnessing a change, to embrace the evolution of the value proposition. Furthermore, buyers are increasingly looking at transformative solutions to drive the strategic agenda for procurement. In such a scenario, competition among the service providers is becoming intense and they are scaling up their offerings in terms of processes, execution, and technology, which are becoming an integral part of a comprehensive PO solution.
