Procurement Excellence

Great People, Great Results

We develop outstanding Procurement programmes. In 2008 we developed 13 different programmes for a major branded global business.

However, our passion is not the technical competence side of procurement but developing buyer mindsets, strategies for win/win relationships between buyers and suppliers and how to effectively and ethically deliver cost reduction and manage risk.

If you are seeking specific competence training, such as reverse auctions then you will be better approaching a technical provider. However:

If you want your people to be flexible in their thinking to deliver greater results then you should call us.

Programmes can be tailored to include:

Delivering cost reduction (including how the consultants do it!)
Buyer character and competence
Portfolio analysis
Effective supplier management
Managing stakeholder relationships
Negotiation
Briefing and tendering

Prior to establishing CC1 Chris Cooper was a founder of a very successful procurement consultancy. And in his career has been directly involved in the delivery of c£45m of client cost reduction for many major organisations and global brands. This knowledge and experience combined with CC1's insight into human behaviour, sales and buying psychology will bring great value.
