In carve-outs, divestments, spin-offs and IPOs, procurement separation is one of the most complex elements of the transaction. Untangling supplier contracts, separating procurement processes, and maintaining commercial continuity require careful coordination and deep expertise. Without experienced guidance, organisations risk operational disruption, unclear contract ownership, and loss of value—risks that intensify under tight timelines and high transaction pressure.
Six3Nine helps organisations navigate this complexity with confidence. We support procurement teams in managing the practical realities of separation, ensuring supplier continuity, protecting commercial terms, and safeguarding operational stability throughout the separation process.
