Procurement advice
Our global network of procurement experts have a sound understanding of the global, national and local market trends, capability and capacity. We identify the most appropriate procurement route for a project, then support the procurement and tendering process through to successful execution.
Our expert team develops appropriate, best practice, fully compliant procurement strategies, and oversees their successful implementation.
In collaboration with the client and the project team, we consider all viable procurement routes, and evaluate them against time, cost and quality criteria.
Taking the client’s risk appetite into account, we set out the pros and cons for each option to guide decision making. We then incorporate the agreed strategy within the project plan. Through our in-house expert market intelligence team, we have access to the very latest market trends and data enabling us to offer impartial procurement advice that delivers best value outcomes.
Sustainability
Sustainability is an essential consideration on all our projects. We work with our clients to establish the bespoke solution that is right for them. We embed these in our procurement approach. For example, this may include the requirement for responsible sourcing to reduce the scheme’s impact on the environment, conserve resources, and protect land.
Support through the bidding process
We work closely with our client’s procurement team, design team and consultants to develop tender documents, producing customised RFQs and RFPs for a range of activities. Throughout the tender stage, we help to coordinate and respond to technical queries. We analyse the responses and make recommendations on how to proceed, offering professional advice to support clear decision-making.
Our standardised procurement tracker monitors each stage of the process across all work packages, providing vital information on each supply chain member in a centralised data environment. Our automated system logs and captures all procurement activities, allowing us to track their status and manage any deviations from the baseline.
