Strategic Sourcing & Procurement Service Offerings

Strategic Sourcing & Procurement

Our strategic sourcing strategy leverages our market expertise to optimize buying arrangements, negotiate best-in-class agreements, and monitor billing compliance, resulting in cost savings and enhanced spend management for organizations.

As a veteran outsourced provider, we have market-savvy information related to vendor price points, optimal contract terms and conditions, and benchmark levels based on your specific spend and service mix profile. Strategic sourcing allows you to optimize your buying arrangements and is the cornerstone of any successful spend management strategy. We excel at negotiating best-in-class agreements, monitoring them for billing compliance, and notifying you when expiration dates mature or opportunities for early savings present themselves. It’s all part of our comprehensive strategic sourcing strategy.

We manages the entire process surrounding sourcing including:

  • Demand set analysis
  • Vendor capability assessment and selection
  • RFI/RFP document production
  • Vendor response compilation
  • Final decision recommendation
  • Negotiation of the final agreement. We follow-up to ensure that the initial invoice for the new agreement is accurate and that the contract has been implemented correctly.

Ready to leverage spend intelligence for strategic sourcing decisions across all service categories?

We purposely designed our solutions as a key element to your success.
