Proxima

Proxima is a procurement and supply chain consultancy with more than 30 years of delivery experience. It operates as part of Bain & Company’s procurement ecosystem and works across sectors including financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, government and private equity.

Its work covers cost transformation, strategic sourcing, supplier and contract management, procurement operating-model design, supply chain resilience, sustainability and managed procurement services. The firm describes its model as practitioner-led: consultants work alongside client teams and take responsibility for implementing changes, rather than limiting their role to recommendations.

Proxima is particularly strong in private-equity value creation and transaction support. It helps investors and portfolio companies assess supplier-cost opportunities before acquisitions, deliver savings and synergies after closing, and build procurement capabilities that improve cash flow and EBITDA. It also supports regulated and public-sector organisations with sourcing, cost reduction and commercial capability transformation.
