Sourcing collaboration

PA works with organisations to provide deep subject matter expertise at appropriate points throughout the sourcing life cycle.

Effective sourcing relies on applying the right knowledge and expertise, at the right time. Some organisations need expert support throughout the entire sourcing life cycle, others only at specific points. PA’s sourcing collaboration services provide access to expertise when required.

PA manages the sourcing life cycle in three main phases:

Define

 The early stages of assessment and strategy development > more

Develop

 Preparing to implement the new arrangements including negotiating with suppliers > more

Deliver

 Starting with transitioning to the future state and then reviewing the situation as necessary > more

In each of these phases PA offers four primary services - tailored solutions to meet specific collaboration requirements.
