Realising value through structured, data-driven sourcing
Strategic Sourcing is more than running an RFP. It is a disciplined, data-driven process for optimising spend and capturing measurable value.
At Procurato, we combine deep category expertise, rigorous analytics, and fact-based negotiation to deliver sourcing outcomes that go beyond price. We manage projects for both direct and indirect spend, supporting clients across a wide range of industries. Acting as an extension of your team, we oversee every stage – from project initiation and market analysis to supplier selection, contracting, and implementation.
Our governance framework, built around structured Gate Reviews, ensures stakeholder buy-in, transparency, and alignment at every step.
Cost Reduction & Value Creation
Leverage data and market insight to secure competitive pricing, improve terms, and deliver in-year savings.
Risk and Compliance Management
Review contracts and suppliers for compliance, ESG risks, and performance issues, then address them through sourcing events.
Stakeholder Engagement
Gain alignment across functions through a structured process with clear decision points and transparent reporting.
Sustainable Results
Focus on implementation and supplier onboarding so that benefits are realised and embedded, not just signed off on paper.
Improved Service & Value Delivery
Our structured sourcing process ensures optimal supplier selection, enhancing service quality and delivering greater value to your organisation and its stakeholders.
We follow a proven ten-step sourcing process, with quality overseen through five formal Gate Reviews. This structured approach gives stakeholders confidence that every project is well-governed, evidence-based, and focused on delivering tangible value.
We start by setting up strong project governance and working with you to define the scope, objectives, and success criteria. These are captured in a Project Definition Report, giving everyone a shared understanding of the baseline and what success will look like.
From there, we build a robust fact base, analysing spend data and supply market dynamics to shape a sourcing strategy that is both commercially sound and practical to implement.
Once the strategy is agreed, we manage the sourcing process end to end: developing the RFP, running supplier evaluations, and leading fact-based negotiations to secure the best outcome. After suppliers are selected, we ensure a smooth transition, supporting contract execution, onboarding, and benefits tracking so that savings are realised and embedded over time.
Where needed, we can extend our support beyond sourcing into full implementation or other post-award activities, ensuring that outcomes are delivered and sustained according to your business needs.
