SUPPLIER/BID MANAGEMENT

West Enterprises can manage the sourcing and bid processes for any commodity or services need, as well as implement supplier management initiatives to establish, track and measure performance to agreed upon objectives. Many organizations embark on strategic exercises designed to leverage their position in the industry and attempt to obtain the best mix of price and service from the supply chain. Unfortunately, in many cases, after much effort and dedication to a long and arduous process, the results are less than expected. Even if some modicum of success is achieved, the customer’s ability to effectively manage the agreements is limited at best. WE can help define the current state, clarify the goals of the initiative, craft a supplier strategy, facilitate a competitive bid scenario, assist in analyzing the results, establish target pricing and enable contact award(s). Further, by working with the operational teams, WE will devise a platform for measuring attainment of the contractual deliverables to ensure continuous improvement activities and compliance with all tenants of the agreement.
