Strategic and Contract Advisory

Senior procurement input, scoped to one piece of work.

Sometimes the team is capable and the gap is a single hard job: a contract that needs a proper read before signing, a negotiation with a supplier that holds most of the power, or a category that has never had a strategy. This is senior specialist input, scoped to that task, without adding a permanent role.

Who this is for

Organisations with an existing procurement function that needs specialist input on a specific matter

Teams facing a negotiation or a renewal where the commercial stakes are higher than usual

Executives who want an independent second read on a contract before committing

Organisations building a category strategy for the first time

What you get

  • Buyer-side contract review, with the risks and the fallback positions set out in plain language
  • Negotiation strategy and support, including preparation, opening positions and walk-away points
  • Category strategy development, including market analysis
  • Sourcing strategy and evaluation design for a specific tender
  • A written output you can take straight to your executive or your board

How it works

A 30 minute discussion to define the piece of work.

3
Delivery to the agreed timeframe, with a written output and a walkthrough session.
