Procurement Planning

Successful procurement doesn’t start at the tender stage – it begins with a clear strategic plan. Our Procurement Planning service is a great option to help you develop a procurement pipeline that benefits both you and your residents.

Procurement Planning matters because it helps you reduce risk, avoid delays and ensures you’re delivering contracts at the right time and in the right way. By understanding your procurement pipeline you can: 

  • Improve your market engagement
  • Avoid costly delays
  • Find economies of scale
  • Future-proof your contracts

This is a great option for smaller organisations without an in-house procurement team. Alternatively, if you’ve just completed Stock Condition Surveys and are unsure where to start – we can help turn them into actionable plans. 

What is included?

Our technical team will work with you to design a tailored procurement plan that meets your objectives. This includes: 

  • Early engagement – we’ll meet with you to help define the scope, timelines and key milestones
  • Asset management support – we’ll review your condition surveys and asset data in order to design a procurement pipeline that delivers efficiencies and matches with what you need
  • Risk assessments – we’ll identify potential challenges and mitigation strategies to align your different projects
  • Cost benchmarking – our team will help with costing your forward plan to help you gain confidence, and ensure future budgets are realistic and allow for market changes

How does it work?

  1. Initial consultation – we’ll meet with you to discuss your goals and challenges
  2. Discovery stage – we’ll take time looking at your asset data and current plan to see where we can deliver efficiencies through a new procurement pipeline
  3. Planning workshop – our team will map out your procurement journey, with timescales and project milestones
  4. Delivery – we’ll present a clear, actionable and tailored pipeline to your team, and can deliver training alongside this to help you manage the process in-house
  5. Ongoing support – our team can be on hand to assist throughout the project and help with any procurement projects down the line

What does it cost?

We’ll work with you upfront to deliver a full quote for your specific requirements. It’ll begin with a free consultation to make sure we start off on the right track and understand the project from the outset.
