This is an example of an assignment undertaken within the last two years. I am a versatile consultant with capabilities in procurement, negotiation and proposal management.
This is case study #13 and involved supporting a federal government regulator to review a critical and complex procurement and generate recommendations for improvement

Situation

The organisation engaged me to write their procurement strategy for a complex and high value critical service. After the procurement was completed, they asked me to review the effectiveness of the end-to-end procurement process.

Task

The task was to review all the relevant documentation, confirm if the process was compliant with their own governance, efficient and effective, and identify opportunities for improvement.

Actions

I reviewed all the relevant documentation, including the client's own procurement governance, the procurement strategy for this project, the RFP, the terms and conditions, the RFP responses, the evaluation processes and the final recommendation report. I then gave interim feedback to the senior leadership team before submitting a final report with more than 40 recommendations, classified by criticality.

Result

The client accepted final report on first presentation and agreed with the recommendations. They plan to incorporate the feedback in the next and subsequent procurements.
