What is facilities management procurement?
Facilities management procurement is the process of securing services for managing facilities. This could include buildings and equipment. Overall, an organisation is looking for someone to support the functionality, sustainability, and safety of their facilities.
Who can help you with facilities management procurement?
The best option for support when looking for facilities management procurement is a purchasing specialist.
Procurement Consultants can help you in a variety of ways, and here are just a few!
1. They’ll help you assess your needs and areas for improvement
If you have some goals for your organisation, that’s great! Many people often struggle to narrow down what is needed to achieve these goals. A Procurement Specialist can support you with this. They’ll recognise which areas need improvement and how to go about it.
2. They can evaluate your spending and offer solutions
Another way they can help is by analysing your spending. You may be spending more than necessary in certain areas. This is a great way of getting your finances in order.
3. Can support your own procurement team
If you already have a procurement team that needs a little bit of extra support, you can get that too! Many sourcing consulting firms will offer guidance, mentorship, and support services to your own in-house procurement team. They may have a bit more knowledge of facilities management procurement. Use this to your advantage and look for that further support.
4. You can find one that specialises in facilities
As we briefly just touched on in our last section, you may find a specialist in a certain sector/industry. This is your best bet for facilities management procurement. One that specialises in facilities management will have a deeper expertise to exercise in your favour.
5. Carry out supplier market research
Another benefit of turning to a procurement specialist is that they can research suppliers. They’ll be able to give you a breakdown of the market and which suppliers are worth inviting to tender.
6. They can produce all your tender documents
Finally, our last point is that facilities management procurement specialists can produce all the tender documents. These documents need to be incredibly detailed to give suppliers the exact information of the contract. It can be a lengthy process trying to put the documents together. A specialist can do all of it on your behalf.
