London Luton Airport Operations

In January 2020 London Luton Airport Operations had completed its most successful year. Impacted by Covid-19, passenger volume catastrophically decreased by 90% from May 2020 

The procurement team, having just achieved CIPS accreditation, developed a robust and rapid plan to survive centred around innovation and collaboration.

The team renegotiated and reduced spend on contracts by over 30%. 

They introduced new, agile effective procurement processes, delivering a Covid-19 procurement survival and cost saving programme. This led to rapid savings of over £14m whilst improving Corporate Social Responsibility

The CEO recognised this as a major contribution to the survival of the airport.
