Technology procurement

The right technology. Sourced with purpose.

Sourcing business technology to an agreed specification — whether it is yours or one we have helped define. Quotations, quantities, lead times and supplier coordination, managed through to supply.

Technology procurement

Start from a specification, or from a need.

Some organisations come to us with a precise specification; others with a problem to solve. Both are welcome starting points.

With a specification. If you already know what you need, we can source it directly — no consultancy engagement required. We confirm the details with you, obtain and compare quotations, and coordinate supply.

With a need. If the requirement is still taking shape, we can help define it and specify a suitable solution first, then source against the agreed specification — so what is supplied matches what was agreed.

The procurement process

A clear, accountable process.

How procurement runs once there is a specification to work from, with clear communication at each stage.

  1. 01

    Confirm the specification

    Agree exactly what is to be sourced: products, quantities, delivery location and timescales.

  2. 02

    Quote and compare

    Obtain quotations and compare costs, availability and lead times on a like-for-like basis.

  3. 03

    Order and coordinate

    Once a quotation is accepted, coordinate ordering and delivery arrangements with suppliers.

  4. 04

    Confirm and close out

    Check what has been supplied against the agreed specification and resolve any outstanding points within the engagement.
