WE HELP YOU EVOLVE YOUR APPROACH TO PROCUREMENT

Since our inception, we’ve worked with ambitious organisations who want to take their commercial procurement to new horizons.

Combining commercial expertise and a creative approach to procurement, along with an accredited technology for handling sensitive client data, we’ve devised and delivered procurement projects that have not only achieved impressive results but have elevated and enriched our clients’ procurement function in the long-term.

A relatively young practice we may be, but our team’s experience within commercial procurement spans decades. We boast a talented team of consultants, commercial experts, technology specialists and futurists, each with experience across multiple sectors, who work directly with clients to evolve procurement.

COMMERCIAL & PROCUREMENT SERVICES

We’re here to provide procurement knowhow and commercial savvy to unlock exceptional outcomes for our clients. Our approach is underpinned by five key values;

Always Deliver

Simplify the Complex

Integrity and Transparency

Innovation in Solutions

Client Success is
our Success

These values are delivered through core principles which include our strong belief that technology will shape the future of business; we recognise that to remain successful, we must continually innovate our services and develop our team to remain at the forefront of our sector.

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

We’ve built a framework using recognised Industry best practice based on the established methodologies of WorldCC and CIPS to ensure that the appropriate activities for the contract at each stage of the lifecycle are carried out.

We’re agile and can be brought onboard to deliver specific work package for interim or short-term activities, or as an ongoing service when you need to substitute or bolster your in-house commercial capability.

Our simple but effective framework covers the following aspects of contract and commercial management:

  • Performance management
  • Financial management
  • Relationship management
  • Risk management
  • Benefits tracking
  • Contract startup / contract closeout
  • Cross organisational supplier management coordination

COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS

We have significant experience in major technology programmes at pre-procurement, procurement and contract stages. We understand that while working on complex transactions there are often two jobs, one to manage the specific commercial issue and another to manage or support the management of people. Major programmes naturally have significant governance regimes and several interested parties. We navigate these complexities to unblock outcomes for our clients.

Our capabilities include:

  • Business case development (Cat A, 5 Case, Green Book)
  • Commercial and Procurement Strategies (supply chain architecture, procurement plans, negotiation strategies)
  • Procurement execution
  • Bid development
  • Negotiation
  • Contract ‘reset’ activity / renegotiations
  • Managing claims or disputes
  • Exiting major contracts / moving to a disaggregated commercial model

PUBLIC SECTOR

We have end-to-end procurement and commercial experience in delivering a wide range of complex public sector IT procurements under both PCR 2015 and DSPCR 2011 regulations. We provide pragmatic and impactful commercial advice. Our public sector clients trust us with their biggest challenges and know that we’re always here to help.

Our team was built from the ground up with a depth of knowledge in IT and cyber procurement and commercial management across the public and private sectors. Whether you need support developing a comprehensive ITT pack, or simply guidance on responding to a social value question as part of your tender submission, we’ve got you covered.

PROCUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

With technology changing the world at pace, and increasing demand for digitisation of procurement, organisations are under pressure. The adoption, use and acceptance of the technology can be a complicated journey. The route to digital transformation is rarely straightforward.

That’s why we’ve put together a team of experts to develop an approach that will help you plan, source and implement technology solutions from the supply chain. Whether that is understanding the concept of procurement 4.0, disruptive technologies or digital transformation.

SECURE

We’ve built our capability to operate in the secure sector. With in-house IT certification to hold information up to an Official Sensitive level, Cyber Essentials Plus (CES+) accreditation and all staff vetted to BPSS as a minimum with most staff holding higher clearances, we can deploy quickly to work on sensitive programmes without the need to wait for security clearance sponsorship or the deployment of additional IT.

Whether you’re looking for a consultancy to navigate the complexities of DSPCR 2011 regulations, or simply bolster the resilience of your procurement function, we can help.

A CULTURE BUILT ON
DEVELOPING TRUST AND
PROGRESSION

As our name would suggest, development is important to us. We actively promote a culture of trust and progression. This allows our people to thrive in their own unique ways, whilst adding flexibility to empower them. We trust our team to do good work – and they do.

At Evolve we have a way we do things. We’re a digitally native dynamic business, and a hybrid of boutique strategy and commercial consultancy. Our team are hands-on problem solvers and industry specialists who bring a deep understanding of operations, strategy, and the latest technology thinking.
