Sourcing and Procurement
Get More From The Market Place
Being truly independent, Berkshire Consultancy (BCL) has a long track record in sourcing. We define ‘sourcing’ as the process, with appropriate capability, needed to secure the products and services from an external organisation necessary to do business effectively and efficiently. The diagram below shows this relationship in the context of a value adding business operation. Although people are traditionally the domain of an HR function, we are seeing more and more sourcing decisions impacting existing staffing arrangements invoking TUPE or significant internal restructuring. Our sourcing services, combined with our organisational development service, are designed to support organisations both strategically and tactically to:
- Reduce input costs
- Drive up delivered supplier value
Effective Sourcing
Whether it is a joint venture partnership or the supply of raw materials, BCL consultants optimise your sourcing strategy, including the commercial team who procure and manage the supply arrangements.
Over many years we have seen commercial innovation grow. Buyers continue to focus on core competencies seeking better value from suppliers and in many cases integrating them into their business through complex partnering arrangements. At the same time we have observed investment in Procurement and Supplier Management has, at best, remained static leaving Procurement departments without appropriate resources, up to date tools and modern techniques to cope with the demands of increasingly expectant stakeholders while the market place continues to innovate and globalise.
Our services are designed to bring coherence and integrity to corporate sourcing. We are an authority in:
- Procurement transformation
- Complex contracting
- Commodity suppliers and services
Our Sourcing Services set a strong agenda for change recognising all three dimensions have to interact effectively and coherently. Your business needs the best sourcing capability to secure the most cost effective supply inputs that positively contribute to your business outputs and outcomes.
