• Decades of experience on hand to support you:

Many companies may not be ready or have already undertaken a procurement transformation program, and have a strong procurement team with a good track performance record. They are not looking to transform their team or their practices, but are looking to supplement their in-house team with additional capacity and specialist skills (such as category know-how) on an as-needed basis.

Through our Interim Procurement service, Purchasing Practice can provide these companies with the opportunity to tap into our resources and know-how on an as needed basis, for example to execute projects that may otherwise remain untouched. In this way, the client can deliver more without committing to additional full-time hires, and can tap into very specialist skills only as required.
