Procurement process support for public sector

Procurement process support for public sector

The procurement process can be challenging if you aren’t aware of the pitfalls. Comprehensive support and guidance from our experienced public sector specialists can help you anticipate those issues and accomplish your procurement goals. 

Benefit from a holistic approach to procurement


Cost overruns, inaccurate estimates of timing and scope, ineffective vendor management, and other complexities can result in failed projects and big headaches. With our deep public sector experience, we can help you navigate procurement to achieve a successful implementation and engage the right stakeholders along the way.

We simplify the complexity of public sector procurement

Our team understands the challenges involved and tries to make procurement as painless as possible.

We work closely with public sector clients throughout the procurement process to help mitigate risks, meet compliance requirements, and accurately scope needs and costs upfront, using targeted expertise during each stage of the journey.

We can help address multilayered technology issues

Our technology and public sector expertise can support business transformation and major technology initiatives.

Specifically, we provide delivery support services, including IT assessments and strategic planning, business analysis and reengineering, IT market research, cost analysis, solicitation development, procurement support, vendor management, and project management.

We can help you avoid unnecessary costs by getting it right the first time

If you don’t take the time to get your business case right, you could spend a great deal of time and money trying to solve the wrong problems. A solid business case establishes direction up front and avoids more expensive changes later.

Our procurement specialists can help you build the case for what you’re procuring – and why.

Our approach is centered on your procurement success

Our specialists follow a five-step process to guide you through procurements from beginning to end. We’ll help you ask the right questions as you select software and vendors.

  • Step 1: Assess needs and identify requirements
  • Step 2: Develop competitive solicitations
  • Step 3: Facilitate the evaluation process
  • Step 4: Support contract negotiations
  • Step 5: Implement, manage, and optimize
