Questions
Do we keep control of purchasing decisions?
Yes. You approve every purchase, price and contract. We do the groundwork and make recommendations.
How is outsourced procurement charged?
By the day, as a monthly retainer or as a fixed-fee project. The fee is quoted before we start.
Is our data kept confidential?
Yes. We sign your NDA before we see any data.
Do you take commission from suppliers?
No. You pay only the agreed fee, so every recommendation is made for you.
Can you work on site?
