What do we want? How much do we want to pay? Who do we want to buy it from? How do we want to go about it? These four questions are at the heart of procurement strategy.

Our phase one interventions focus on developing a procurement strategy that provides clear answers to these core questions. The outputs are a clear statement of requirements; a target price; an approach to the market place; the identification of suppliers and a request for proposals. 

This phase requires a highly structured approach to the development of the programme plan, the allocation of resources and the operation of a tender process. Our project managers are experienced in managing complex stakeholder relationships and delivering to fixed timescales and budgets.
