How we work
Assessment of your procurement needs
We start by conducting an in-depth analysis of your current procurement practices. This may involve reviewing your purchasing history, evaluating supplier relationships and assessing the overall effectiveness of your procurement strategies. Our goal is to identify key areas for enhancement, potential cost savings, and opportunities for strategic procurement development.
Allocation of procurement professionals
Based on the assessment, we allocate the most suitable procurement professionals to your project. This could include:
• An assigned interim procurement specialist or expert
• An interim buyer for targeted purchasing support
• Interim back-office support for administrative tasks
Operational task execution and back-office support
We handle various operational tasks, such as:
- Initiating and managing requisitions (order triggering)
- Conducting thorough market and supplier research
- Negotiating commercial terms and creating purchase orders
- Tracking deliveries and processing returns
- The three-way matching process (matching goods/service receipt notes, purchase orders, and invoices)
- Developing custom-made service and product agreement templates
Managing the tendering process (RFQ/RFI/RFP)
We expertly handle the tendering process, starting with drafting and issuing Request for Information (RFI), Request for Proposal (RFP), and Request for Quotation (RFQ). This phase involves gathering detailed supplier information, evaluating proposals and comparing quotes to ensure you receive the best value and quality in line with your specific needs
Bringing automation with catalogue and pricelist implementation
Developing and implementing comprehensive catalogues and pricelists to automate the procurement process. This includes organizing and categorizing products and services for easy access and reference, ensuring up-to-date and competitive pricing, and providing a clear and efficient ordering system for your team.
Contract management and compliance services
This crucial step in our process involves several key activities to ensure effective management and compliance of your contracts:
- Negotiating or renegotiating contracts
- Preparing and tracking contract execution
- Administering contracts to ensure compliance and optimal terms
- Reviewing and optimizing procurement procedures and policies
