Case Study 1
The Brief
A leading Public Sector organisation required high level Strategic support from a consultant level procurement professional who could quickly undertake contract negotiation and management, provide strategic advice on complex areas of procurement and lead the development of e-procurement initiatives.
When internal delays were inhibiting the permanent recruitment process, the Head of Strategic Procurement contacted Purcon as he knew Purcon were specialists in the interim procurement market.
The Solution
Purcon immediately began work on finding exactly the right person for this project, ensuring that the Interim Manager would act as a centre of expertise for procurement, and develop e-procurement and e-enablement initiatives. With this is mind, and within 48 hours, a professionally qualified interim Procurement Manager with a strong background in the introduction and management of Purchasing Cards, category management and e-solutions was provided by Purcon.
Key deliverables included rapid purchasing savings, improved purchases and tighter contractual relationships.
