Strategic Procurement Support
We provide advice and services in the following areas.
Procurement Strategy
Any procurement strategy comprises selection from the available options relating to overall delivery models, how tenders are to be called, the
basis for pricing, the type of contract, the desired contractor involvement, and proposed level of partnering.
The specific strategy should reflect the true drivers: these typically include success criteria, risk preferences, funding, ability to define
the work, control required, and time constraints.
Document Preparation
Good contract documentation provide an unambiguous definition of the criteria for selection, services or works to be provided, clear performance
expectations, and a fair but robust set of conditions. Ensuring the quality of the tender and contract documents goes a very long way to
minimising claims which can turn into disputes.
Tendering Processes
Good tender processes are clearly defined, transparent, open to audit, provide for selection of the supplier best able to achieve desired
outcomes, and probity assured.
Contract Delivery Processes
Effective contract delivery requires personnel who, maintain constructive relationships, understand the contract scope and terms, understand
relevant legal principals, act in a timely manner to perform the numerous management and administrative tasks.
Performance Reviews
From time to time there will be real value to undertake a brief review of contract delivery (including services, supply, and works contracts) to
ensure contract execution conforms to specified requirements, and that contract administration is being undertaken properly.
Risk Management
Ensuring effective risk management processes are in place, and being followed, provides assurance that future risk events are less likely to
adversely impact delivery.
Partnering
Services include facilitation of Partnering Workshops, and reviewing the effectiveness of the application of the Partnering Charter.
Negotiation
Assisting with the definition and execution of an effective negotiation strategy.
