PROCUREMENT

Scriptus is able to help organisations improve procurement outcomes by transforming their procurement function or supporting the delivery of procurement strategies, policies and frameworks that better align with the business needs. Procurement is often belied as a roadblock within organisations and Scriptus is well versed in building structures and processes that streamline procurement to lift the procurement function out of the weeds of compliance and into a position as a strategic partner to the business. 

Scriptus can help build a solid foundation of procurement functions that can be relied upon to support operational and strategic delivery for all stakeholders, while engaging in meaningful governance and oversight that delivers value for money for your business.

Scriptus can support your business’ procurement goals through: 

• Procurement policy, framework and process development

• Review and development of new procurement delivery models

• Reviews of procurement structures and function capability analysis

• Spend analysis, annual planning, and resource assignment

• Business case and procurement strategy development 

• Tender evaluation, planning, and management

• Probity services

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

Savings and value for money are made possible through the procurement process but are only delivered through effective and active post-award contract management. Contract Management is often understaffed and resources, or assigned within business units as an add on to peoples jobs.  Scriptus has worked with our clients in government and business to streamline tools and artefacts used by contract managers to focus on the tasks that matter and deliver the most benefit.  Our team has more than 70 years’ experience in managing or delivering (as a supplier) large contracts; we understand how things can go awry. Importantly, we know how to triage things to get them back into shape to build continuous improvement and delivery with suppliers. Scriptus can provide support across the contract’s timeline to support improved delivery through:

• Mid term and end of term reviews to support options to extend or define lessons learned

• Managing ‘Contract Implementation and Contract Initiation’ processes

• Reviewing contract management structures and artefacts for effectiveness

• Building capability through training and hands on mentoring of contract management teams and buyers

• Development of contractor reporting, KPI and performance structures 

• Contract financial analysis 

• Contract variation, negotiation, planning and delivery

STAFF RESOURCES

Procurement needs change from year to year and can spike at inconvenient times, making resourcing and forecasting difficult.  The procurement practitioners at Scriptus are available to deliver procurement outcomes within organisations - either working as part of your procurement team or externally managing a discrete procurement and tendering project from start to finish.

Our procurement practitioners come fully qualified and experienced in a wide range of procurement activities and have access to the entire suite of Scriptus consultants and advisors to bring the required expertise to each project. 

Whether it is overcoming an unexpected volume of procurement activities, staffing shortages, or for mega event temporary structures, our procurement professionals can be used to clear the backlog and return the organization to business-as-usual operations in a reasonable timeframe - without compromising processes and before operational risks are realised.
