Centaurus offers Strategic Procurement Optimization (SPO) designed to analyze current procurement processes and suggest optimization strategies. We can add significant value by helping streamline internal processes with surprisingly simple adjustments to existing systems and policies.

One of our most effective methods of reducing our clients' existing costs involves performing a thorough Procurement Review. This entails an audit of the existing third party supplier contracts and identification of initatives for improvement. Whether it be a supplier of goods or a service partner/provider, our consultants will assess and propose measures to improve existing contractual relationships without negatively impacting those third party relationships.

Centaurus Consulting will leverage its international offshore procurement expertise and proven negotiation skills to ensure that our clients are receiving full vaue at fair market rates. This is often accomplished through market analysis and a subsequent re-opening of negotiations directly with the supplier. In cases where the supplier relationship is not of a strategic nature, we will simply initiate a new tender for the goods or service in question and carefully manage the process and negotiations on behalf of the client to ensure maximum results.  
 

Sourcing

Improving the selection and management of global suppliers is a critical issue for many organizations. Centaurus considers the methodology behind Strategic Sourcing as the fundamental backbone and logical baseline for any procurement project related decisions. We are prepared to add significant client value in Onshore or Offshore Sourcing as part of our Strategic Procurement Optimization service.

Tendering

The tender process is often very demanding on key personnel within an organization. The selection of short term suppliers or long term partners is an important activity as the organization is assuming various risks through association with third parties. Centaurus can help.

We will gather key requirements from the client and ensure the selection of the optimal supplier. Our standardized processes, designed to produce the most beneficial contract terms through a high pressure down selection strategy, can be customized to our client’s specific needs.

Cost Savings through Energy Efficiency

An integral part of our Strategic Procurement Review program is focused on helping our clients find inexpensive methods to reduce their utilities bills and potentially achieve significant ongoing annualized savings. Large organizations will spend well over $50,000 on electricity charges alone.

Through the introduction of PowerSmart incentives for example, Centaurus Consulting is able to advise clients on the appropriate implementation of tools, methods and products to replace inefficient technologies and practices that may be uncecessarily costing the client far more than they realize.
