The need of Procurement Service Provider

  • Strategic Procurement process is defined as the process to purchase / buy commodities, goods and services with the highest level of scrutiny, quality requirements and the best landed cost through fair competitive bidding. In the current turbulent economic environment where each functional head is required to work under tight budgets and corporate team sizes shrinking day by day Procurement Service Providers are boon for Purchase Heads in any large organization.

Using a PSP avoids the cost of full time procurement resources for non-strategic commodities or for addressing cyclic requirements. A Procurement Service Provider can also used for data extraction from core systems (ERP), spend analysis, benchmarking of price for different commodities, for low cost country sourcing, to negotiate contracts, manage supplier performance and help organization in implementing global best practices.

  • Enterprises can expect cost reductions on an average between 10% and 20% by outsourcing management of their procurement processes or specific commodities.
