IT Procurement Consultancy

Improve the efficiency of your IT Procurement Team

IT Procurement Consultancy supports organizations in the strategic purchase of IT services, software, hardware and outsourcing contracts.

This domain requires in-depth knowledge of technology, supplier markets, contract models, integrations, risks and pricing mechanisms. IT procurement experts often overthink things: a typical buyer doesn’t understand the complex and rapidly changing IT landscape because it’s not their area of expertise.

Why do we procure and what is the most efficient process?

IT procurement consultancy starts with two key questions:
What are you trying to achieve with your sourcing initiative? And what is the scope of your sourcing exercise?

To get the right answers, you first need clarity on your demand and what the market can realistically deliver. That’s why we start with a solid market analysis, so you know what to expect (and what not to).
Next comes the source-to-contract process: We take your bill of material to a curated longlist of vendors, guide you through presentations and evaluations, and help you select the best-fit supplier, plus a strong runner-up.
Once the preferred vendor is chosen, we lead the commercial and contractual negotiations until you reach a best-and-final offer and close with a signed agreement.
And we don’t stop there. After signature, we support vendor performance management and contract lifecycle management, ensuring your multi-vendor ecosystem stays under control.
Throughout the contract lifecycle, we run regular benchmarks to make sure you always get the right price for the right quality.

Why is IT Procurement Consultancy crucial?

While cost optimization is turned into a strategic priority, enterprises can't afford to stand still, because competition is fierce and customer and stakeholder demand of delivering innovative products and services will continue to drive this innovation.

IT is the backbone of modern organisations – and where it isn’t today, it will be in the future. The quality of systems and digital services determines operational continuity, innovation capacity, and competitiveness.

IT Procurement Consultancy helps organizations make the right decisions about the IT suppliers they work with, control costs, avoid lock-in, and reduce risks.

By combining expertise with objective market insights and robust processes, PACT ensures that IT purchases deliver maximum value.
