Procurement Advisory
Optimum’s procurement advisory service provides expert support for clients seeking to evaluate and significantly enhance their procurement capability and performance.
Our advisory practitioners have a proven pedigree and track record of success in implementing key consulting projects across the private and public sectors. We work with FTSE 100 organisations through to smaller and medium sized companies. In addition to UK based assignments we also serve clients internationally with long-term projects recently completed in North America and Australia.
Our advisory services range from providing teams to create or develop sourcing strategy, opportunity assessments and category source plans, through to providing experienced change managers or category experts for specific projects, benchmarking, or category negotiations. Typical advisory assignments last between 3 to 12 months and involve us creating and implementing sustainable solutions around key procurement challenges, namely:
- Strategic Sourcing
- Accelerated Cost Reduction
- Competency Development and Training
- Process and Systems Development
- Opportunity Assessment
- Outsourcing / off-shoring
- Sustainability
- Organisation Design
- Pre / post Acquisition Support
Our advisory service is fully aligned to our procurement outsourcing offering by providing clients with dedicated category experts focused on driving incremental savings and value, typically in non-core expenditure. Our consultants offer deep domain knowledge in under-performing categories of spend, combined with significant experience in establishing and enforcing integrated procurement processes across the organisation.
