Procurement Consulting
Smarter Sourcing, Stronger Supply Chains
Better procurement isn't just about beating up suppliers on price. It's about getting the right things, from the right people, at the right cost — reliably. Built on 20 years of sourcing across mining, manufacturing, energy, and construction.
Service Overview
Procurement is one of those areas where most businesses leave money on the table without realising it. Poor contracts, unconsolidated spend, suppliers who haven't been reviewed in years. I've managed procurement in industries where getting it wrong means shutting down a site — mining, manufacturing, construction. That discipline translates into real savings and reliability for any business.
- Strategic sourcing that balances cost, quality, and reliability
- Vendor assessment and qualification based on what actually matters
- Contract review and renegotiation — finding the money you're leaving on the table
- Supply chain risk management for when things go wrong
- Spend analysis to understand where your money actually goes
- Procurement process improvement — less paperwork, better outcomes
Want to Talk It Through?
Every business is different. The best way to figure out what'll work for yours is a quick conversation — no obligation, just a straight assessment.
Our Process
How I approach every engagement — straightforward, structured, and focused on getting you results.
A detailed look at your current spend, contracts, suppliers, and processes. Understanding where the opportunities are and where the risks sit.
Developing a clear sourcing approach — which categories to consolidate, where to run competitive processes, and how to manage your key supplier relationships.
Running the competitive processes, renegotiating contracts, setting up proper vendor management. Doing the work, not just recommending it.
Putting systems in place so procurement improvements stick. Supplier performance tracking, contract management, and regular reviews.
Why This Works
This isn't a framework I read in a textbook — it's how I've actually run projects across mining, manufacturing, energy, and everything in between for the last 20 years. Every step is there because it works.
