The Challenge
Our client, a F500 Life Sciences company, acquired a Pharmaceutical Company to bolster its product portfolio and expand its Pharmaceutical offering.
Integrating the acquisition required reviewing and disposing of ~3,600 supplier agreements and evaluating ~600 new suppliers for onboarding into the Client environment.

What We Did
- RGP engaged a team of contract specialists to work with business partners to determine which supplier relationships could be terminated and which needed to be migrated to the Client’s environment
- We partnered with Legal to develop contract templates for terminations/non-renewals and contract amendments
- We reviewed supplier agreements, determining actions to be taken and executed accordingly, including sending notices of termination/non-renewals and negotiating contract changes
- We partnered with Procurement and AP to develop supplier communications and support Supplier Risk Assessments, Supplier On-Boarding
