Procurement Resource
Service
The Procurement Resource provides a flexible solution, with public sector clients able to call-off expert advice and support as and when required. We provide a bank of qualified consultants at agreed project, day or hourly rates to be allocated to deliver procurements where additional demand is often required rapidly. We provide client management across all projects, liaising directly with commissioning stakeholders and providing progress reports to your Procurement Team.
Expert and committed procurement support
We advise on, and support our clients in creating and running appropriate, fit for purpose procurements. We work alongside our clients providing them with the expertise and the manpower to make it happen. Procurement is our passion and our commitment to you is as follows:
- Regular, clear and concise communications, ensuring that the client interface remains constant and consistent. We are experts in working with Local Authority teams and stakeholders
- Provide MCIPS-qualified public sector procurement experts that can not only facilitate a fully compliant process but know how to access specialist support when they need to
- Advice on which procurement route is most appropriate, as well as support in specification generation. The specification is imperative in order to be able to measure and monitor outcomes post contract award
