Procurement advisory services

Our diagnostic service provides either a holistic review of your procurement function or of specified elements. We map your current procurement landscape, identifying gaps against key strategic objectives and best practice. Regular assessment is important to continued success: almost 70% of clients assessed have a low procurement maturity rating.

We create business cases to support the development of collaborative procurement functions, tangible savings opportunities and transformation roadmaps across multiple sectors, with proven success. Each case can be tailored to your procurement team's specific needs, including materials management, systems, strategy, people and logistics.  

We work with you on a high-level review of your procurement policies, processes and practices and non-pay spend to evaluate how you operate. Our findings report then recommends practical optimisation and efficiency opportunities, including savings quick-wins to improve your procurement function’s capability to support your business.

We analyse client spend data to provide a holistic summary of what’s being bought, and from who, on a category basis. We map stakeholders to understand and engage key people and align categories to business need, developing a bespoke category strategy to align the supply base so it delivers what the business needs at the best cost and quality.

We review your contracts to enable greater strategic decision-making. We provide insight into the strength of your contracting terms and commercial position. Our services provide you with a strategy for negotiation with suppliers, resulting in more robust contract terms and improved costing and pricing models.
