Specialist Procurement
We help our clients with IT Infrastructure related procurements, using the most relevant procurement routes – including frameworks, Find A Tender, mini-competitions and direct award as appropriate.
Our procurement services offer expert support in selecting the most suitable IT infrastructure suppliers to meet each client’s specific requirements. We ensure that every solution is aligned to your organisation’s goals, sourced efficiently, and delivers long-term value.
With extensive knowledge of the supplier landscape, 4C helps clients navigate complex offerings to identify the best-fit partners. We manage (or support you to manage) supplier engagement, ensuring you gain maximum value from IT infrastructure solutions and services – in terms of strategic alignment, best fit and commercial advantage.
4C’s Typical Procurement Approach
Requirements Definition – following consultation with the client, develop the requirements definition / outcome based or technical specifications.
Invitations to Tender (ITT) – turn the requirements definition and specifications in to the relevant ITT documentation – to fit with our client’s internal templates and tailored to the selected procurement route.
Evaluation Process – we support or lead this for our clients, usually wit the full review and scoring of tender responses.
Evaluation reports – to provide formal, auditable documentation of the process / decisions undertaken.
Debrief reports – for unsuccessful suppliers, we will support our clients during the de-brief stage.
