Procurement
Our Procurement team is dedicated to providing commercial and procurement support to both large and small public and private sector businesses and organisations.
We ensure the client is involved at every stage of a project and our approach is both flexible and cost effective.
Procurement decisions can make a major difference to businesses trading profits. It is therefore surprising how many SME directors and managers have no real internal policy or understanding of procurement and what it can achieve for their businesses. Unfortunately inadequate planning, poor supplies information and a lack of specialist procurement advice can quickly erode profit margins.
Virtually every decision in business has some element of procurement involved in it.
A well controlled and managed procurement policy can help you significantly reduce your operational costs and achieve higher profits for your business.
Our Procurement team has a wealth of experience in this field and can:
- Review and improve the terms of your existing supply contracts.
- Advise you on how to choose the best suppliers.
- Provide you with draft contracts and precedents.
- Support you in any contractual negotiations.
- Advise on insuring against business risk.
- Help you develop your own in-house procurement policy and functionality.
We can help you develop a cost reduction programme that will achieve sustainable long term benefits for your business. You should avoid complacency because in the current economic climate a business neglects potential procurement savings at its peril.
We offer a FREE Procurement Health Check on your business which will review your entire business procurement activities and any existing policies.
You will be supplied with a report detailing our recommendations and this will stipulate what savings and improvements can be achieved in your business.
If you decide to instruct us to act we will agree in advance how fees will he charged and this can often be simply a percentage share of the actual savings we achieve for your business.
