Optimum is a procurement outsourcing and consulting company, providing clients with experienced professional practitioners to deliver pragmatic solutions in procurement outsourcing and advisory.

Founded in 2007, Optimum has enjoyed significant year-on-year growth to become a leading procurement service provider with a proven pedigree and track record of success, delivering significant and sustainable commercial value to a growing number of clients across a broad range of industry sectors.

One of Optimum’s many clients was Henderson Global Investors, a leading independent global asset management firm. Henderson is one of Europe’s largest investment managers, with over 64 billion assets under management and employs over 1000 people worldwide.

Optimum partnered with Sourcing Dojo to conduct a highly successful reverse auction for Office Supplies on behalf of Henderson. Optimum managed the e-auction process by providing their skill and expertise, whilst Sourcing Dojo provided their capable e-auction software.

The result was a fantastic success for Henderson, identifying savings of close to 30% from several suppliers including their incumbent.

Working with Sourcing Dojo was a great experience. Their system is easy and intuitive to use, and the support they provided both in the background, preparing for the event and in delivering the auction itself was strong and welcomed. Overall, we jointly achieved a great result for the client and I was extremely happy to work with Market Dojo on this project.
