What is Procurement Consulting

What is Procurement Consulting?

Procurement consulting helps businesses optimize how they buy goods and services—reducing costs, improving supplier relationships, and building procurement capabilities without hiring full-time staff.

Most growing companies don't have dedicated procurement expertise. As a result, they:

  • Overpay for goods and services due to lack of market knowledge
  • Struggle with fragmented supplier relationships across departments
  • Miss cost savings opportunities hidden in existing contracts
  • Lack visibility into total company spend
  • Don't have time or expertise to run competitive RFP processes
  • Face compliance and risk issues from unmanaged procurement

That's where procurement consulting comes in.

What is Procurement Consulting

A procurement consultant acts as an extension of your team—bringing specialized expertise, proven methodologies, and industry benchmarking to improve your procurement function. Whether you need help with a specific project (like running an RFP) or ongoing strategic support (like a fractional CPO), procurement consultants deliver measurable value quickly.

What Do Procurement Consultants Actually Do?

Procurement consultants work across several key areas:

Procurement Transformation

Cost Reduction & Savings

Analyze your spending patterns, negotiate better contracts, and identify immediate savings opportunities. Most clients see 10-30% cost reductions in the categories we work on.

Strategic Sourcing

Run competitive bidding processes (RFPs/RFQs) to find better suppliers at better prices. This includes supplier evaluation, contract negotiation, and implementation support.

Supplier Management

Develop frameworks to manage supplier performance, ensure contract compliance, consolidate your supplier base, and mitigate supply chain risks.

Process Improvement

Streamline procurement workflows, implement digital tools, and build procurement capabilities within your existing team.

Fractional Leadership

Provide executive-level procurement strategy and oversight without the cost of a full-time Chief Procurement Officer.

Why Hire a Procurement Consultant?

Companies typically hire procurement consultants when:

When to Engage Procurement Support
1

Rapid growth has outpaced internal procurement capabilities

2

Cost pressure requires immediate spend reduction

3

Limited internal resources mean procurement gets deprioritized

4

Major projects (like new supplier selection) need specialized expertise

5

Procurement transformation is needed but there's no internal leader to drive it

The ROI is clear: procurement consulting fees are typically recovered multiple times over through cost savings in the first year alone.
