TESTIMONIALS
THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING...
I am delighted to be able to provide a testimonial for Invictus Partnership, who have been an invaluable asset to our schools. Antonia and team bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the table, transforming the way we approach procurement.
They have an impressive ability to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising on the quality of our service and supplies. Their attention to detail, coupled with their negotiation skills, resulted in substantial cost reductions.
Emmaus Catholic MAC – Amanda Hodder, Chief Finance and Operations Officer
Invictus and Antonia Harvey have been my partners in several public procurement projects over the last year. They have consistently delivered high-quality outcomes with a focus on customer satisfaction. They have shown attention to detail and rigor in the bidding and oversight processes. I would endorse them to any public sector organisation.

abm catering enjoy bidding for catering contracts through tender processes managed by the Invictus Partnership. Their tenders are thorough, transparent and efficient. The feedback they provide once a contract is awarded is invaluable, both detailed, yet concise.
abm Catering Limited - Neil Floyd, Group Commercial Director
I have known Antonia for about 15 years and would recommend her to anyone looking to procure cleaning or catering services. She is one of the most knowledgeable consultants in the industry and is therefore able to advise her clients on the quality of service and management support that will be provided based on her actual experience rather than a simple desk-based selection criteria focussed purely on cost.
Invictus are among the few consultancy practices that monitor the services throughout the duration of the contract, this gives them a thorough understanding of strengths and weaknesses of all the key industry players and she is able to push the suppliers to deliver the services to the standards promised in the presentations. She will challenge the costs, which frequently results in savings greater than the audit fee costs. This engagement with the client and supplier generally results in a partnership approach and longer agreement, reducing the costs for the client and the suppliers as they have a longer quality contract.

Antonia Harvey is a force to be reckoned with! Best in the business.
Robin Hood Multi Academy Trust – John McDermott, Finance and Operations Director
The Holy Cross Catholic MAC is a Coventry based trust of 2 large secondary schools and 5 primary schools totally 4,5000 pupils. We have used Invictus Partnerships for the management of large tenders such as Catering, Cleaning, MFDs and HR.
We have found them to be a real asset in large procurement exercises leading the process from initial specification, through tender / contractor selection, to contract management and delivery. We believe they have delivered both high standards and value-for-money solutions for our trust and we also successfully utilise them for the ongoing monitoring and quality assurance of large contracts.
Holy Cross Catholic MAC – Martyn Alcott, Chief Finance and Operating Officer
Invictus work to deliver a thorough tender process achieving a balance between client and contractor to find the right partner.
The detailed monitoring process provides both parties the transparency and tools to support a successful partnership.
Aramark – Fiona Martin, Sector Director Education & Health
I have worked with Invictus Partnership in a professional capacity for approximately 18 months. Initially through the tender process for a group of schools that came out to tender.
The tender process and presentation were professionally organised, and the strict timelines were adhered to.
My company AIP were fortunate enough to be successful in this particular tender and throughout mobilisation and stabilisation, Antonia has been extremely supportive, knowledgeable and proactive in ensure all parties (client and contractor) are working together for the benefit of the contract.
Invictus have been proactive in facilitating monthly contractual meetings reviewing financial information, KPI’s and client reporting packs – all of which have been professionally set up and stored by her team.
