The Purchasing function is a key element in the efficiency and success of many public sector organizations. There are multiple challenges facing the purchasing function: 

• Cost optimization

• Compliance with standards and regulations, etc.

Our expert consultants can help you structure and professionalize the Purchasing function by developing and strengthening your relationships with users and customers, partners and suppliers, implementing clear and efficient processes, identifying cost and risk optimization levers, and training your in-house teams in market best practices. 

The public sector is often faced with the challenge of managing large-scale, complex projects, whether they involve the implementation of new public policies, the transformation of an information system or the construction of public infrastructures. 

Managing these projects is key to ensuring their success and profitability. Furthermore, change is often a source of tension and reluctance within teams, which is why it’s essential to involve a neutral player to support the implementation of the transformation. We help industry players to manage these projects effectively, thanks to proven methodologies and high-performance project management tools. 

Our expert consultants support you in defining objectives, planning and coordinating the various stakeholders, monitoring risks and deadlines, and managing budgets. Finally, we reinforce the relationships between each stakeholder to ensure that the project runs smoothly and is a success.

Public purchasing represents an annual budget of 110 billion euros, giving it considerable power. It has an impact both on the country’s economy and on broader societal issues such as decarbonization and the fight against climate change. 

Public procurement and purchasing in general have long been reduced to a simple cost-cutting function. Until recently, tender criteria were mainly limited to the lowest price for a given need, totally overlooking the environmental and societal development leverage that public purchasing could represent. 

In recent years, however, public procurement law has evolved to facilitate access to public contracts for small and medium-sized enterprises, while sustainable development issues have taken on greater importance in the criteria applied in public tenders.
