We see…

  • Procurement often presents challenges due to the complexity and scale of projects
  • Specialist or localized knowledge is often required
  • Major projects and sourcing projects can often involve diverse scopes of work, ranging from engineering and construction to technology integration. Defining and managing the procurement requirements across these multifaceted scopes can be challenging
  • Major projects are inherently associated with elevated risks, including financial, technical, and operational uncertainties. Procurement professionals must navigate these risks to ensure that the selected vendors and suppliers can meet project objectives while mitigating potential disruptions
  • Balancing the need for thorough procurement processes with the imperative to meet project deadlines is a constant challenge
  • Technology plays a crucial role to project success. Procurement of cutting-edge technologies requires a deep understanding of the market, emerging trends, and the ability to assess the long-term viability of the selected solutions
  • Major projects often involve sourcing materials and services from a global supply chain. Managing the logistical challenges, geopolitical considerations, and potential disruptions in the supply chain requires a sophisticated approach
  • Procurement projects are often challenging, with practitioners needing to tackle a combination of technical, regulatory, financial, and logistical complexities. Successfully navigating these challenges demands a strategic and adaptive procurement approach tailored to the unique demands of each project
