About Spikes Cavell
Deliver cash savings, measure progress and manage
compliance
Spikes Cavell equips decision
makers in the public sector with the data, online tools and
analytical insight they need in order to transform the way they
procure goods and services.
Since 2003, their spend analysis and spend management solutions
have underpinned the efforts of more than 800 organisation’s to
deliver cash savings, measure progress and manage compliance.
Everything they do is driven by data
Public sector spend, contract and pricing data is often
incomplete, inappropriately classified, and distributed across
financial management and purchasing systems that are only partially
integrated. This ‘data deficit’ renders the analysis and management
of spend difficult, time consuming, expensive and unreliable.
Spikes Cavell’s sophisticated,
scalable and public sector specific methodology addresses the
‘data-deficit’ by rapidly transforming your spend, supplier and
contract data into actionable intelligence regardless of the
completeness, accuracy or fitness for purpose of the source.
Modular, data-driven and public sector specific online
tools
The Observatory is a modular suite of data-driven online tools
that have been designed from the ground up to meet the unique
requirements of the public sector:
Spend & Contract Analytics – profile your
spend to find savings, identify opportunities for collaboration and
manage ‘maverick’ spend.
Measurement & Benchmarking – evidence your
progress, create context through comparison and address price
variance.
Sourcing - research, select and communicate
with local suppliers with whom you are not currently trading.
Environmental Impact – measure and manage
C02 in the supply chain.
Innovative, data-driven and public sector specific
services
Spikes Cavell’s supply
management, payment recovery and advanced analytics experts deliver
an innovative range of data-driven professional services in the

forensic analysis of your transactional data to identify, validate
and ultimately recover inadvertent overpayments. Outputs include
root cause analysis to help prevent future overpayments.
Advanced Analytics – Spikes Cavell is pioneering the
aggregation of multiple public sector datasets and the application
of advanced analytical techniques to reveal hidden insights in the
data.
