Partnering and procurement

Developing an effective procurement strategy is more than ensuring that goods and services are purchased at the best possible cost. It is also essential that the strategy reflects the long-term interests of the housing provider and its residents.

  This is often best achieved through long-term partnerships with key suppliers. In this way, organisations can move beyond standard procurement contracts to improve service delivery.

The optimism that surrounded many early partnership arrangements has given way to a more confrontational reality. Instituting these new types of working relationships takes flexibility and commitment. However, the rewards are substantial – not just in terms of financial improvements but also long-term service benefits to you and your ability to meet changing customer demands. We can help you:
  • Develop long-term sustainable relationships to deliver long-term sustainable financial and service improvements
  • Increase surpluses and reduce budget requirements by reducing costs of goods and services
  • Introduce a transparent open book approach to partnering
  • Identify and implement the optimum way for you and your partners to work together so that everyone delivers the maximum benefit
