We take
over certain complex processes as an extended part of
your procurement team for the company. There are several
benefits:
•
Implement procurement
processes
•
Control and manage more spend
•
Realise more savings from untargeted
areas
Contract management
•
We manage contracts
with a contracts database and procurement help-desk.
This helps you increase contract utilisation i.e.
more usage of centrally negotiated contracts.
We also support supplier management, especially
to collect rebates and minimise over-payments
Buying service for low value
spends
•
For lower value non-strategic
spends we offer an outsourced service. The procurement
help-desk routes request to central contracts,
procurement or low value buying team. Our buying
service follows a structured sourcing process
on all – even low value – spends.
We process invoices of low value suppliers and
aggregate billing to you or support your existing
payment processes.
Vendor managed spend monitoring
•
Suppliers often manage
significant levels of 3rd party spend - this could
often be over 25 - 50% of external spend. We track
the volume and pricing of third party spend by
suppliers on a regular basis. This gives significant
benefits in ensuring that you are getting good
pricing.
Category management
•
Our team manages distributed
categories (i.e. multiple buying points) using
the latest technology solutions. Categories include
Print and Temporary Staff. Please ask us how we
can help with other categories.
