What We Offer
Prochain Services
Supply Chain Compliance Management
Supply Chain Management (SCM) compliance refers to the adherence and conformity of a company's supply chain activities, processes, and relationships with relevant laws, regulations, standards, and ethical practices.
Strategic Sourcing
Strategic sourcing is an essential component of the procurement process which ensures the optimisation of purchasing activities and supports a company to achieve long-term goals.
Drafting Tenders
The tender process is a critical component of effective procurement, offering numerous benefits to companies. Competitive bidding, promotes fair competition, encouraging suppliers to provide the best value-for-money proposals.
Contract Negotiations
Effective supplier contract negotiations require skilled negotiators who understand the industry, market dynamics, and the specific needs of both the buyer and the supplier.
Contract Drafting & Maintenance
Contracts provide a structured basis for collaboration, minimising uncertainties, and significantly contributing to the overall success and sustainability of business relationships. The significance of contracts with suppliers and contractors can therefore not be overstated.
e-Procurement
Electronic Procurement, commonly known as e-procurement, is integral to contemporary procurement practices. It ensures efficiency within the buying process, minimises paperwork, and improves communication between buyers and suppliers through the digital or electronic issuance of Requests for Proposals (RFP), Quotations (RFQ), or Information (RFI).
