Post-Merger Integration & Carve-Out Support

Efficient supplier integration or separation, without disrupting your business

Whether you’re selling, merging or divesting, we ensure third-party contracts and suppliers are integrated or separated efficiently and compliantly, so critical operations continue without interruption and the benefits of the transaction are instantly realised.

About Post-Merger Integration & Carve-Out

Mergers and acquisitions place significant pressure on procurement and supply chain teams. Hundreds of contracts may need to be located, reviewed, terminated, or renegotiated – all while maintaining business continuity and meeting critical Day 1 deadlines.

Procurato specialises in managing these complex transitions. Using proven methodologies, contract trackers, supplier engagement templates and our proprietary risk management software which facilitates supplier onboarding and engagement, we streamline the process of integrating or separating suppliers and contracts. Our team’s expertise extends beyond process management to include contract drafting support where required, helping you ensure agreements are properly structured to enable a smooth integration or separation.

Our approach is flexible. We can manage the entire programme end-to-end or focus on priority workstreams, depending on your requirements. In every case, our processes are designed to minimise disruption, control costs, and deliver measurable value.

How it helps your business

Business Continuity on Day 1

Ensure critical suppliers are ready to deliver from the first day after a merger or carve-out, avoiding service gaps and operational risk.

Compliance & Risk Management

Review contracts for change-of-control clauses, assignment rights, and regulatory obligations, reducing legal and financial exposure.

Cost Control & Opportunity Identification

Identify duplication, consolidate suppliers, and renegotiate terms to capture synergy savings, mitigate cost increases, and uncover opportunities to improve service quality and supplier performance across the entire supply base.

Clear Visibility & Reporting

Track progress across hundreds of contracts, ensuring stakeholders stay aligned and informed.

Our Approach to Contract Integration and Contract Separation

How it works

Managing supplier contracts during a merger, acquisition, or carve-out is one of the most complex and time-critical challenges in procurement. Hundreds of agreements may need to be located, reviewed, and acted on – often against tight Day 1 deadlines – all while maintaining business continuity and minimising risk.

Procurato’s approach brings structure and clarity to this complexity. We begin by mapping in-scope suppliers and contracts, assessing financial, regulatory, and operational considerations, and determining which agreements require novation, renewal, termination, or new sourcing. Our team engages suppliers with clear communications and well-planned negotiation strategies, ensuring continuity and compliance throughout the process.

Beyond execution, we give you visibility and control through detailed contract trackers and progress reporting, keeping stakeholders aligned and risks effectively managed. Once the immediate integration or separation is complete, we partner with you to capture longer-term benefits – from supplier consolidation and synergy delivery to designing future-state operating models, sourcing new systems or partners, and other solutions tailored to your business needs.
