ie Smart Solutions has significant experience within the procurement area. There are currently three main streams to the procurement services we offer clients:
Major Spend Analysis / Procurement Recommendations and/or Negotiation
The primary scope of this type of procurement is generally an analysis of your purchasing spend in key overhead areas such as telecommunication, stationery, travel, electricity etc. and look to negotiating new agreements for these areas.
Within specific industry areas, such as healthcare, there is significant scope to analyse and reduce the spend for areas such as all high value purchases within areas like the Operating Theatre and Cath Labs.
Generally this type of purchasing is done with an agreement to analyse and benchmark current purchasing at nil cost. Where savings can be generated through negotiations of new agreements or better compliance to existing agreements then ie Smart would take a proportion of these savings.
Outsourced Procurement
This component of our service offering is focused towards Clients who have no Procurement expertise, or who are looking to outsource their total Procurement Requirements. It is also available for specific areas of a Clients purchases, where they do not have enough experience or resource available.
Healthcare Non Stock Procurement
This component of our service offering is currently under development. The service will be initially focused on the non-stock area of healthcare due to the significant requirement in healthcare to firstly gain control of this area of spending and secondly to offer healthcare organisations information on non-stock purchases. This offering is a key strategy that healthcare organisations can utilise to take control of an area that they currently have little control over and nearly always have zero information available to gain any control.
