procurement

Procurement strategy and supply chain management can be essential to a company’s financial performance and efficiency.

Modern procurement techniques are used to drive down costs, improve cash flow and deliver higher returns on investment.

We have a thorough knowledge of how effective and efficient procurement can be accomplished and have worked on some of the largest public and private sector procurements in the UK, including advising on the complexities of public procurement regulation. Our experience can be applied to both purchasers and bidders. For purchasers, we can help implement successful procurement strategies, taking best of breed from the private and the public sectors.

We offer bidders deep knowledge of how a tendering process is conducted, how their tender is likely to be assessed and the means for dealing effectively with unfair treatment should it arise (see public procurement).

Key areas of expertise include:

Supporting purchasers and suppliers engaged in electronic procurement, including reverse auctions and other dynamic purchasing mechanisms
Establishing framework agreements for public bodies and multi-sourcing arrangements in the private sector

Managing the procurement of Shared Services. We understand the complex management and control issues and help to keep the relationship between supplier and customers manageable by establishing appropriate practical governance procedures
