The challenge
While attempting to exit a long-running £2 bn contract, a large government department was facing opposition and uncooperativeness from its supplier. Our client needed a way to keep the supplier engaged in its previously agreed obligations without entering into a long and expensive legal battle. It opted for DeliveryBridge as a solution to help overcome this dispute.
The solution
DeliveryBridge was used to locate and present all of the relevant legal obligations in our client’s contract with its supplier. This information was used to form a strong and clear argument, demonstrating beyond doubt what was still legally required of the supplier. Without the assistance of DeliveryBridge, achieving the same level of information superiority would have taken months instead of hours.
The results
Our client reported that it was able to save approximately £500,000 in legal fees by using DeliveryBridge. After receiving the clear objective evidence sourced by DeliveryBridge, the supplier’s legal team agreed to settle out of court, allowing our client to successfully exit from the contract. DeliveryBridge is now being used across all our client’s new programs.
