Any technology programme that begins life by sourcing the wrong technology is unlikely to achieve its outcomes. Outsourcing large and often complex operations may only occur a few times in the career of a senior manager and not getting it right can be a painful experience. Ensuring your procurement strategy is fit for purpose first will go a long way to mitigating risk.
We help our clients achieve better results from procurement by being clear about why they are procuring, what resources they need to procure effectively and how best to procure what is needed – all on the right commercial terms. Most importantly, we help our clients to ensure that suppliers perform.
For example, we have helped our private and public sector clients:
- Develop sourcing strategies that are driven by outcomes
- Develop risk sharing models with partners
- Produce Requests For Information (RFIs) and Requests For Proposal (RFPs)
- Manage the tendering process including vendor assessment
- Negotiate contracts with selected suppliers
- Design and produce Service Definitions, Performance Management Regimes and Service Levels
