Commercial and procurement support in the East Midlands

Procurement, contract and programme expertise across the East Midlands.

In short

East Midlands organisations tend to bring in support around distribution, engineering and food supply chains, where a small percentage on a large spend is worth more than most other operational initiatives available.

What we tend to see here

Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Northamptonshire cover rail and aerospace engineering, food production, textiles and one of the densest logistics corridors in the country. Long-term supply agreements and framework arrangements are common, which makes contract mechanisms and change control matter more than headline rates.

How support works in this area

Work is delivered on site where being in the room matters and remotely where it does not, which for most engagements is a mix. BRIEF does not keep an office in the region and does not pretend to. What matters is whether the person doing the work understands the market you buy in and can be there when it counts.
