Supply Chain Resilience
At Teneo we combine expert financial restructuring skills with deep sector knowledge to deliver critical insights into the financial health of your counterparties.
Supply chain resilience has been a hot topic for most corporate boards over the last 18 months. The pandemic has brought into stark focus the vulnerability of businesses which rely on third parties to enable smooth functioning of their operations, whether that be through a supply chain, route to market or even a strategic partnership.
For some, it has also highlighted the need for greater visibility over what businesses are supplying critical goods or services and where these businesses are located. These key counterparties can often be overlooked and deeply rooted in the supply chain as tier 3 or tier 4 suppliers.
At Teneo we draw on our experience of having worked with a range of businesses in financial distress, across a variety of sectors, to spot early signs of underperformance and quickly take action to protect your value chain. We deploy situational skills focused on:
- Optimising supplier payment profiles to strengthen your working capital cycle.
- Understanding a critical counterparty’s financial position and the implications for your business.
- Supporting stakeholder negotiations where a supplier is at risk, to implement mitigating actions that minimize business disruption and brand damage.

Case Studies
Robin Hood Energy
Mandate
Robin Hood Energy was a subsidiary of the Nottingham City Council and a gas and electric provider with 220,000 customers that had been loss making for a number of years. We were appointed to support the Directors and undertake the best restructuring for creditors.
Approach
Our cross-service line team provided M&A, tax, restructuring and employment advice to deliver a sale of the customer book which generated more value than a Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) procedure and will result in a better return to creditors.
Results
Following transition of the customer book, the business was placed into Administration.
Project March

This included discussion of new financing to stabilize the trading partner, monitoring the short-term cash performance of the business and contingency planning for a failure of the business.
Results
Our work supporting the attempted restructuring resulted in an extended period of stability, allowing enough time for the client to put an alternative delivery model in place.

Teneo Securities LLC’s Business Continuity Planning
Teneo Securities LLC has developed a Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”) on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our BCP.
The Firm has developed and installed a BCP in the case of any business disruption that causes the Firm to have limited or no communications with its employees or customers. Our plan anticipates two types of business disruptions, internal disruptions which affect only our Firm’s ability to do business (such as a fire in our building) and external disruptions that prevent the operation of securities markets or other firms (such as natural disasters or acts of war).
The Firm intends to stay in business during both internal and external disruptions due to the fact that the Firm employees can conduct Firm related business from alternate off-site physical locations and the Firm maintains an alternate location for the maintenance of its books and records. We anticipate that the Firm will recover from internal business disruptions within 24-48 hours. An outage due to an external business disruption may be longer and is beyond the control of the Firm. However, the Firm will endeavor to resume business as soon as it is possible for the Firm to establish business operations from alternate off-site physical locations.
The Firm’s BCP specifically addresses the following areas related to Firm operations:
- Data back-up and recovery (hard copy and electronic);
- All mission critical systems;
- Procedures to test and determine the Firm’s ability to do business (i.e., financial and operational assessments);
- Alternate communications between customers and the Firm;
- Alternate communications between the Firm and its employees;
- Alternate physical location of employees;
- Critical business constituent, bank, and counter-party impact;
- Regulatory reporting; and
- Communications with regulators.
