Procurement of Consultants
"as a service"
We work as an “extended workbench” and help procurement departments respond quickly and appropriately to the needs of internal customers. With precise market screening for specific consulting needs, an efficient compilation of suitable consulting companies and quick access to alternative management consultancies and comparative offers or by executing tenders and evaluations, we help to overcome capacity constraints and know-how gaps.

Performance measurement
When purchasing consulting services, it is important to select and use the providers with the best quality and the greatest expertise. It is therefore worth taking a look at their performance at regular intervals in order to recognize early on if the performance does not meet your expectations or to make informed selection decisions on fact-based quality measures. We offer proven prequalification methods (certificates, RFI, etc.) and performance measurement instruments as well as benchmark tools to measure the performance and quality of consulting companies.
