Services : Procurement
The process of buying energy and telecommunications services in a liberalized
or deregulated market is both time consuming and complex. Although suppliers
and brokers are more than pleased to offer their "standard" prices
upon request (or via an on-line buying service), sophisticated consumers understand
that thorough preparation, first-rate market intelligence, timing and negotiation
are critical to securing the best prices.
We understand that there are many organizations that do not wish to devote
the time and resources necessary to develop and manage the procurement process
but still want to secure the best prices available in the marketplace. For
this reason we offer a service to outsource a client’s energy and/or
telecommunications procurement process.
Around the world NUS Consulting manages the procurement process for thousands
of clients. Our experience, reputation, market intelligence, and industry relationships
provide our clients a real advantage.
By outsourcing the procurement process, we take on the burden of constructing
detailed usage profiles of each of your locations; drafting a comprehensive
pricing request; submitting the pricing request to selected reputable suppliers;
performing a comparative analysis of responses and ranking them on a "like-for-like" basis;
and undertaking any required negotiations with the most competitive suppliers.
At the conclusion of this process, our clients receive a detailed procurement
process report with our recommendations and a supply contract for final approval/signature.
