Spot buying service

Our spot buying team provides a fully managed procurement service for public sector customers. We run further competitions, OJEU procurements (providing a full specification is provided), and open market competitions below the OJEU threshold on behalf of customers, providing expert advice and guidance on the appropriate procurement strategy for each requirement. We draft all tender documentation, manage the tender process, and conduct all award activities for you, saving you time, money and resource.

All customers need to do is provide a full specification, carry out the quality/technical evaluation and input into documentation review and responses to supplier clarification questions of a technical nature, leaving us responsible for all other associated tasks.

We are committed to delivering a quick, efficient, and transparent service to our customers that delivers value for money. The process can take as little as five days from issuing a Request for Quote to raising an order.
