Operational Procurement
Helping you with project managing tenders or service sourcing activities
Balancing competing needs and wondering where to start?
You've so many things to buy - from paperclips to property maintenance, legal services to logistics, catering to capital investment, and all the rest!
In balancing corporate requirements and local needs, the drivers of Economy, Efficiency and Effectiveness have to be managed interdependently, alongside environmental impact and social value. We believe the latter are not 'optional extras' but are fundamental to the social purpose of the sector.
Our Approach
All of the above have to be managed in the context of regulated procurement. We can help support your business by project managing tenders or other activities from sourcing through to contract providing:
-
Clarity of what level of service you are looking for and the budgetary constraints
-
Design of process and contracts to deliver operational outcomes and social value objectives, including where appropriate the use of pre-existing frameworks
-
Management of risks throughout the process, including transparency & equality of treatment of suppliers
-
Compliance with relevant regulations
-
Advice on pricing mechanisms allowing for potential service charge complexity
-
Delivery to agreed timescales
Outcomes
Operational procurement can help sustain your business with daily operations. It streamlines purchasing processes so that your business can easily access resources whenever it needs them, in the right place, in the right quantity and for best possible price.
