RIS engaged Deecon to support the recovery of these costs and develop a strategy to resolve the commercial disputes. With Deecon’s support, RIS successfully resolved the matters in dispute through mediation. 

Deecon optimised Instalcom’s commercial governance and Cost Value Reconciliation (CVR) processes, implementing an automated system-driven solution within Monday.com to replace manual workflows.

Deecon were tasked with performing a Value for Money (VfM) review of a large first-generation, outsourced service worth ~£700 million. The review was conducted in a condensed three-month timeline and was delivered on time with praise from the Client on our approach, engagement and quality of deliverables.

Deecon was engaged by Cable Giants to deliver a strategic Opportunity Assessment to identify priority opportunities and inform the organisation’s long-term strategic focus and commercial direction. A structured three-step approach was adopted, comprising financial analysis, internal analysis, and external relevance analysis.

The engagement concluded with a comprehensive report summarising the findings in a SWOT Analysis, a Risk Analysis, and 16 Recommendations with outlined implementations.

Deecon partnered with Avove to recover significant outstanding Work in Progress (WIP) across multiple contracts and paused orders. Through a structured four-step approach—data gathering, WIP tracking, validation, and prioritisation—Deecon identified and substantiated over £2.57 million in WIP across 445 projects, with the majority prioritised as quick wins. This process enabled Avove to reclaim funds efficiently, validate over 400 final accounts, and replicate the success across additional workstreams.

Deecon built a scenario-modelling data tool for CityFibre to forecast indexation impact on spend, with integrated dashboards providing analytics on inflation and price indices. It enabled CityFibre to manage inflation costs more effectively, improving data visibility and reporting across 50+ supplier contracts.
