Procurement Consulting.
Build a procurement function that reduces costs, manages risk, and drives value — not one that just processes purchase orders.

A well-designed procurement function reduces costs, manages supplier risk, enforces compliance, and enables faster decisions. A poorly designed one costs more than the goods and services it buys.
We help organizations transform procurement from a transactional back-office function into a strategic capability — CPSM and LSSBB certified, with both the procurement expertise and the process methodology to deliver real results.
Quick facts
End-to-end procurement transformation.
Two certifications. One integrated approach.
Our CPSM (Certified Professional in Supply Management) certification covers the full spectrum of supply management — sourcing, supplier relationships, contract management, and procurement strategy.
Combined with LSSBB certification, we bring both procurement domain expertise and Lean Six Sigma process methodology — a rare combination that means we can both redesign your procurement strategy and eliminate waste from your purchasing processes.
- CPSM — procurement strategy, sourcing, and supplier management
- LSSBB — process improvement and waste elimination
- Microsoft 365 — Power Automate, SharePoint, Power BI integration
- Cross-industry experience in finance, government, and manufacturing
- End-to-end capability from strategy to technology deployment
How a procurement consulting engagement works
Procurement engagements are led by a CPSM-certified practitioner who is also a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and typically run 6–12 weeks once started. They are the best fit for organizations spending roughly $2M or more a year on goods and services.
Scoping call
We ask how much you spend annually, whether you can see spend by category and supplier, and whether the biggest pain is cost, supplier risk or slow sourcing cycles. That sets the focus of the engagement.
Spend analysis
We pull purchasing and accounts payable data into one view, clean and categorize it, and show where the money goes by category, supplier and department. For many organizations this is the first time total spend is visible.
Sourcing strategy and supplier review
For the priority categories, we assess suppliers, contracts and market options, then build a sourcing plan: renegotiate, consolidate, go to market with an RFP, or leave as is.
Run sourcing events and fix the process
We run vendor evaluations and RFPs with your team and redesign the purchase-to-pay process so requisitions, approvals and purchase orders move faster with proper controls.
Embed tools and governance
Contract management and reporting are set up on Microsoft 365 using SharePoint, Power Automate and Power BI, so your team can see spend and contract renewals without building reports by hand.
What it costs
Procurement consulting is quoted as a fixed fee per phase, so you can start with spend analysis before committing to sourcing work. We work on fixed fees, not hourly rates: one price, a defined scope and a timeline, agreed before anything starts. If the work takes us longer than planned, that is our risk, not yours, and any change in scope is re-quoted before the next phase rather than added to an invoice.
The main things that move the price are:
- Annual spend and the number of categories in scope
- The quality and number of sources of your purchasing data
- How many sourcing events or RFPs we run with you
- Whether procurement tools and dashboards are built on Microsoft 365
We normally invoice procurement consulting work half at the start and half on delivery (40/30/30 for bigger scopes), in CAD. A short brief is all we need to return a fixed-fee proposal within 48 hours.

How much do we need to spend for procurement consulting to make sense?
The stated best fit is organizations spending around $2M or more a year on goods and services. Below that, the work can still help, but we will tell you honestly whether the likely savings justify the engagement.
Our spend data is a mess. Can you still do a spend analysis?
Yes. Messy data is normal. Cleaning and categorising it is part of the spend analysis, and we document the rules we use so your team can keep the data clean afterwards.
Can you run an RFP on our behalf?
We run vendor evaluations and RFPs with your team: drafting requirements, setting evaluation criteria, managing questions and scoring responses. Your organization keeps the decision and the relationship with the supplier.
What does CPSM certification mean for our project?
CPSM is the Certified Professional in Supply Management designation. Combined with Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training, it means the work covers both the commercial side of procurement and the process side of how purchasing actually flows.
Can you work with public sector procurement rules?
Yes. We are comfortable working with government and regulated buyers, including their MSAs, SOWs and security questionnaires. Procurement-heavy onboarding usually adds 1–2 weeks before the work starts.
