  4. BP Journey & Experience • Created the Procurement Operations Centre in 2006 • Outsourced to a 3rd party service provider • Started with less complex processes • Corresponds to move from P2P to Sourcing activities • Have moved from a pure offshore delivery model to a hybrid onshore-offshore model • Have focussed heavily on separation of transactional and knowledge based activities within an overall activity or process • For e.g Contract Writing is 50% transactional • Initial Business Case validated • Savings in three categories: Operational, Negotiated, Compliance • Being expanded to other business segments within BP 160 FTEs ; ca. $2B annual spend flow-through

  5. Challenges • Relative immaturity of Procurement BPO • Not a volume game for suppliers • has its own challenges • Hiring continues to be a challenge • not ‘standard’ BPO profiles • Fairly high proportion of activities are unscripted and involve judgment e.g. negotiation • Transition happens from typically from a non process driven environment • Customer side change management issues
