We can help you lead a data-driven digital transformation in public procurement. We can also help you deliver successful high-profile and high-value procurement projects using our proven open contracting methodologies, frameworks and resources.

Design a better procurement process

Do you want to get the best results from an upcoming high-profile procurement and tackle systemic change so that your government can buy better over and over again? We can help you leverage an upcoming procurement to achieve change that sticks.

By combining our data, change management and procurement expertise, we’re able to support on big-picture change management all the way down to the nitty-gritty details of e-procurement implementation, key performance indicators, and specific terms of reference.

Supporting the transition to e-procurement

We provide expert guidance and technical assistance to ensure a smooth and successful transition to digital.

We can conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your e-GP system and provide actionable recommendations. We assess your e-GP readiness including legal frameworks, IT infrastructure and internal capacity, then develop a tailored action plan to address potential challenges and promote user adoption. We can support you in re-engineering your public procurement processes to maximize the benefits of an e-GP system and avoid inefficiencies. Finally, we can help create the technical specifications for your e-GP system and guide you through selecting a provider for your e-GP system.

Strengthen your data systems and put them to work

Right now, many governments are not able to quickly and easily understand what they are buying, who they are buying from, and what the results are. It doesn’t have to be this way.

We can help you improve how you collect and use your data, including adopting and improving your technologies, and developing analytical tools to track key performance indicators and red flags.

Of course, we have years of experience advising on, implementing and overseeing the implementation of the Open Contracting Data Standard. We can provide hands-on support to in-house development teams including activities such as on-the-ground training or bootcamps to accelerate development, oversee external consultants, or implement ourselves.

Our digital solutions can help achieve critical goals like strengthening small business participation, supporting transparency and community participation, and building climate-resilient infrastructure.
