Purchasing

We specialise in the procurement of resources, services and products and the management of the corresponding contractual relationships. Our experts have many years of experience in the standardisation and optimisation of procurement processes, which can significantly reduce your procurement costs.

Purchasing services lays the foundation for successful project realisation. Intelligent purchasing strategies can both speed up the purchasing process and expand the field of potential bidders and thus the competition.
Good preparation of the purchasing process, holistic consideration and evaluation of the overall price as well as technical details and quality, contractual arrangements and specific supplier risks make it possible to quickly find the best partner for a successful and long-term collaboration.

ITT projects

From conventional procurement processes to EU tendering projects and offshore wind auction bids, we specialise in large ITT projects.
We also offer support in the procurement of resources, services and products and in the management of the corresponding contractual relationships. In addition, we offer a comprehensive contract administration service to manage day-to-day execution and monitoring. This ensures that services are delivered on time and at the agreed cost.

We have managed and supported many successful large ITT projects. We are experienced in process design, process management and administration, but can also utilise defined tasks if required. With commercial, contractual and legal support from our back office, you can be assured that all aspects of the tendering process are covered.

To meet the focus of the competitive auction system, we have developed ITT Light, which is unique in the way it utilises minimal resources to reach a final bid decision, i.e. a decision on whether to submit a bid to the auction.

We are also ITIL certified. Rooted in the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), we provide procurement support in the following areas:
• Service strategy Contract management tasks in the service strategy: ‘Creating the contract structure’
• Service design (supplier management) Contract management tasks in the service design process: ‘Contract design’
