Procurement services, designed and
delivering for the public sector
Suppliers have a broad impact on organizations, and from time to time, procurement teams are asked to get involved in deeply specialist activities to support business change. Projects like M&A or running a next-generation outsourcing program do not happen frequently, and it is hard for organizations to carry the specialist expertise required to execute at a high standard. Specialist Support services from Proxima reflect our ability to stand up teams to support a range of specialist commercial programs or support needs.
“Proxima delivered a dramatic uplift in the commercial capability of our organisation not only through bringing in best practice from outside and successful recruitment, but also through re-energising, developing, coaching and mentoring our existing team.”
Best of both worlds
Proxima has one of the UK’s largest procurement consulting practices. And it’s not just about scale; it’s about capability, too; we offer a range of solutions tailored to today’s commercial challenges.
Proxima provides an end-to-end cost and capability transformation offering that connects the organisation’s strategy with the reality of frontline delivery, whilst navigating the regulatory environment.
We understand the nature and value of public-facing organisations and we look for ways to embed lasting and sustainable change that transforms the way public services are delivered.
What makes us different is that we operate a blended team of industry procurement specialists and consulting professionals. We have subject matter experts across directs and indirect categories who can deliver a range of Proxima services that suit your organisation’s needs.
Our people are regularly embedded into commercial teams or parachuted in on-demand for specific challenges that we can solve.
They come armed with a support network of ideas, tools, and practical experience – we don’t just set the strategy or write the report; Proxima
is known for delivering outcomes and we live up to our reputation of making change happen.
