Choosing the right support
Procurement consulting: agree the work before the fee.
A useful comparison starts with the problem you need to solve. A consultant can bring specialist experience. Pala can prepare and follow up on the purchasing tasks you agree with us.
Choose the support your team needs.
Compare the people involved, the work included and the support after the first findings. Ask each provider for a quote against the same scope.
Large advisory firms
Consider these when the work spans several teams, markets or a wider change in how the business operates.
Specialist firms
Consider these for a defined purchasing category, supplier question or specialist review.
Independent advisers
Consider these when you need particular experience or support for your own team.
What are you asking someone to do?
We agree the scope, support and fees before work begins. No public example is a quote for your organisation.
Review purchasing records
- Agree which spending, contracts and supplier records to review. Ask for findings, their supporting records and the checks still needed.
Plan a category
- Agree the purchasing category, supplier research and decisions to prepare. Be clear about who will handle the next steps.
Change how the team works
- Agree the changes to roles, approvals, systems and training. Include the support needed to make those changes stick.
Agree the details before work begins.
A headline price cannot tell you what is included. Use the same questions when comparing a consultant’s proposal with ongoing work through ProcureLabs.
- Which records and purchasing questions are included?
- What will we receive, and how can we check it?
- Who approves supplier choices, spending and agreements?
- Who does the follow-up work and handles exceptions?
- How are fees and any outcome share measured and agreed?
- What happens when the work or support ends?
