How do we work with our Public Sector Buyers?
Where possible, we work strategically, helping buyers put the right procurement systems, processes and contract management arrangements in place before individual projects begin.
We can also be engaged on a project-by-project basis, particularly where an organisation needs additional capacity, category expertise or independent support for a specific procurement or service review.
We often hear:
“While we have a procurement team, we are looking for a specialist in estate services, grounds maintenance and cleaning to work alongside our team to ensure the contract is in place by this date.”
“Our current contract needs to be re-procured by this date. Can you complete an assessment of the delivery and commercials to inform the new tender?”
“As a smaller organisation, we do not have a dedicated procurement resource, and we need to ensure compliance.”
“We managed a procurement process ourselves, but it was challenged. We have been advised to work with a consultancy to run the procurement now.”
“We entered into a new three-year contract with a supplier. Twelve months in, they are not performing and the service is in decline. Can you audit the service and advise on our options?”
“Our organisation has grown and we are concerned some of our contracts may now be classed as higher value. Can you advise on the best route forward?”
“I’ve just started with a new organisation and I’m not satisfied with a service that I believe is underperforming. I need a third-party audit, including what we can expect from the market based on our current spend.”
“We need a system to help us control our contracts for performance and compliance, and a service to work with suppliers to ensure control and value for money.”
Our support can be advisory, project-based or fully outsourced, depending on the level of procurement and contract management capacity you need.
