Sun Gaming and Hospitality and The Sourcing Exchange Announce Strategic Partnership

This strategic alliance is designed to transform procurement into a strategic driver of savings and value

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sun Gaming and Hospitality (SG&H), a global advisory firm led by renowned gaming executive Bobby Soper, has partnered with The Sourcing Exchange, a next-generation procurement intelligence platform.

This strategic alliance is designed to transform procurement from a traditionally reactive function into a strategic driver of cost savings and enterprise value across the gaming and hospitality industries. The partnership enables owner-operators to improve visibility into spending, strengthen sourcing decisions, and achieve measurable financial results.

The collaboration combines The Sourcing Exchange’s proprietary benchmarking technology with SG&H’s operational and development expertise to deliver greater transparency, improved cost efficiency, and stronger vendor performance. Together, the organizations provide a practical and results-driven approach to procurement across complex gaming and resort operations.

The platform builds on procurement innovations developed through Scott Robins’ broader work in data-driven sourcing models, including the Group Savings Organization (GSO) framework in healthcare. This model has demonstrated the ability to reduce costs while creating new revenue opportunities through performance-based sourcing and real-time analytics.

This partnership also reflects a 15-year professional relationship between Bobby Soper and Scott Robins, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Sourcing Exchange. Together, they developed procurement strategies that delivered meaningful financial improvements during Soper’s leadership at Mohegan.

“I have worked with Scott Robins for 15 years and saw firsthand the impact his procurement model had on Mohegan,” said Bobby Soper, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SG&H. “The results were significant, and this partnership represents the expansion of a proven model that has already delivered real value across the industry.”

Scott Robins added, “Bobby Soper’s experience and credibility in global gaming and integrated resort development are unmatched. By combining his operational expertise with our data-driven procurement platform, we are bringing transparency and accountability to an area of the business that has historically lacked both.”

A Partnership Connecting Strategy, Technology, and Execution

Through Sun Gaming and Hospitality, Soper has advised global developers, operators, and private equity firms on the planning, financing, and optimization of large-scale integrated resorts. By integrating The Sourcing Exchange into this advisory model, clients gain access to a specialized procurement capability that delivers real-time benchmarking, improved pricing visibility, and disciplined vendor evaluation.

The combined offering supports organizations across all stages of development and operations, from initial planning through ongoing performance improvement.
