Managed sourcing
Human support where the stakes are high
A first competitive tender, an unfamiliar category or a compressed timeline are all situations where a tool alone is not the answer. Our team can run the round with you.
Supplier outreach
We approach suppliers in the category on your behalf, with a buyer-backed message, and get them tender-ready before the clock starts.
Tender design
We help structure the brief, the lots and the evaluation criteria so the offers you get back are genuinely comparable.
Bid analysis
We normalise what arrives — scope differences, exclusions, tax treatment, options — and surface where the offers actually differ.
Decision pack preparation
A pack your approvers can read in five minutes: the recommendation, the basis for it, and what was traded away.
How we keep this honest
Rules we hold ourselves to
- The software remains the system of record. Nothing we do for you lives in our inbox.
- Every engagement leaves reusable templates, cleaner supplier data or a validated workflow in your own workspace.
- Subscription, implementation and managed services are quoted separately on every proposal.
- We do not take a commission from suppliers on work you award. Our incentive stays aligned with yours.
Not advice
The boundary of what we provide
Managed sourcing is commercial and operational support. It is not legal advice, and it is not a statutory public procurement service. If your organisation is bound by public procurement law for a particular purchase, you need specialist procurement counsel — we will tell you so rather than work around it.
Talk about a sourcing round
Tell us the category, the timeline and the decision you need to reach. We will tell you honestly whether managed support would help or whether the product alone is enough.
