Strategies from Private Equity to Drive Efficiencies in Federal Contract Spending While Strengthening the Industrial Base

How Federal Agencies can apply lessons from private equity to rapidly create efficiencies, reduce spending while strengthening the vendor/industrial base

The U.S. federal government is pursuing efficiency efforts at breakneck speed, with the critical goal of optimizing spending, reducing policy/regulatory barriers and strengthening the supplier base. These goals align with long-standing private sector and private equity best practices, where businesses continuously optimize spending, renegotiate contracts, enhance supplier management and eliminate inefficiencies across the entire value chain to drive innovation and maximize profitability.

Hosted by Public Spend Forum, join Alan B. Thomas Jr. (Former FAS Commissioner and private equity expert at AlphaTango Strategies), Simon Lipscomb (Vice President at Efficio), Matthew Lekstutis (Director, North America at Efficio), and Raj Sharma (Founder and CEO of Public Spend Forum) as they share practical strategies drawn from private equity to help federal agencies cut contract spending while building a stronger, more resilient vendor base.

During this short, 30-minute webinar, we will review five key strategies that agencies and companies can immediately apply to drive meaningful impact including:
