What was their challenge?

Managing supplier assurance at scale created significant operational overhead for AtkinsRéalis.

Internally managing extensive questionnaires, maintaining large supplier databases, and keeping information current required considerable time, resource, and cost - all while trying to keep pace with evolving governance and best-practice requirements.

By joining the JOSCAR community, AtkinsRéalis removed the need to manage its own supplier assurance framework in isolation


“The biggest headache JOSCAR has taken away is managing our own database of 500 questions. Someone else is managing that for us.”

Shaun Barker, Head of Supply Chain Systems at AtkinsRéalis

Rather than resourcing internal teams to build and maintain supplier questionnaires

AtkinsRéalis benefits from a shared, community-led approach. This delivers:

Reduced duplication for suppliers

Lower internal resource and management cost

Greater confidence in the quality and consistency of supplier data

Better value than maintaining an equivalent in-house solution

Learning from the wider community

JOSCAR enables AtkinsRéalis to benefit from collective insight across the community, including participation in governance and technical working groups that help shape shared questionnaires and standards.

This exposure allows AtkinsRéalis to benchmark against industry best practice, move beyond internal assumptions and governance limits, ask more relevant and informed questions of suppliers, and continuously improve the way it engages with its supply chain.

Connecting with suppliers

Through JOSCAR Live and structured engagement opportunities, AtkinsRéalis can connect directly with suppliers it may not otherwise encounter. These interactions:

Help uncover niche and specialist capabilities

Create more meaningful, focused conversations

Give wider teams the opportunity to engage with the market

JOSCAR allows AtkinsRéalis to focus on delivery and supply chain capability -supported by a trusted, collaborative community

“It’s not just the product, it’s the community around it - the governance and technical working groups are really useful. It’s valuable to us and to suppliers. It’s a cooperation.”

Shaun Barker, Head of Supply Chain Systems, AtkinsRéalis 

 

 

This shared, network-led approach allows AtkinsRéalis to focus less on administration and more on building capable, resilient supply chains that support successful programme delivery.
