Amsterdam/Amstelveen, January 23^rd , 2024 – Holland Capital invests in Adjust, a renowned procurement and contract management advisory firm serving the public, semi-public, and private sectors. Holland Capital’s investment provides the company with the opportunity to accelerate its  growth ambitions.

Procurement and Contract Management

In recent years, the demand for procurement and contract management services has increased due to an increased awareness of the added value of these services, a shortage of specialized personnel, and mandatory procurement procedures for the (semi-)public sector. In light of these developments, companies and governments increasingly seek support from consulting firms such as Adjust. With a team of over 200 experienced and specialized consultants, Adjust assists its clients with complex procurement and contract management challenges, strategy formulation, and organizational development. Key themes include sustainability, energy transition, and digitalisation.

Adjust and Holland Capital

Adjust is a leading player in the field of procurement and contract management services in The Netherlands. The company has experienced significant growth in recent years, both organically and through acquisitions. Holland Capital and Adjust have jointly developed a growth plan for the coming years, emphasizing the expansion of the current business, entry into adjacent niches, and international buy-and-build. Additionally, as a technology investor, Holland Capital sees opportunities for digitalisation in the procurement and contract management domain and for Adjust’s services.

Guido Winnink (CEO Adjust): “We have always followed our own path within the procurement and contract management services market. Providing added value through high-quality services is central to our approach, next to emphasizing societal value through innovative solutions. We are pleased to have found an investor in Holland Capital who will support us on this journey. This step will be valuable for our clients and for all Adjusters, who will now have even more opportunities for growth and development.”

Laurens Platteeuw (Investment Director, Holland Capital): “With a highly experienced team and a strong track record in acquisitions, we are delighted to add Adjust to our Technology portfolio. Holland Capital will, amongst others, support the company in its transformation towards a tech-enabled business model. Through digitalisation, we aim to support the procurement and contract management experts of Adjust, enabling them to continue making a difference while further improving services for the company’s clients.”
