What we do / Sourcing
Sourcing
Gritera assists with consulting and management of sourcing processes for IT solutions, implementation projects and operations and management services. We can help in all or parts of the process from needs mapping, preparation of tender documents, supplier dialogue, evaluation, contract negotiations and supplier follow-up. The start-up phase is extremely important as it lays the entire foundation for further success and goal achievement.
A balanced approach
We do not believe in strategies that are solely about pushing suppliers to the lowest possible price. To succeed, a common understanding of the needs and opportunities of customers and suppliers must be established. Only with such a strategy will it be possible to find the best solutions that give the business what it needs, and at the right price and with the most favourable risk profile. A well-conducted sourcing process will also form a good basis for success in the implementation and introduction of what the company has sourced.
Good practice
We know good practice in the private sector and regulations in the public sector, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of relevant strategies and contract standards, but we assess the needs of the assignment and the company before choosing, or advising on the choice of, the right strategy and contract standards. for example, various SSA agreements. This is based on a passion for the subject and countless large and small sourcing projects in the private and public sector.

Some services we offer within sourcing
Project management
Our consultants can take responsibility for planning and implementing the sourcing process, including leading and coordinating the sourcing team. We have extensive experience in managing interdisciplinary teams consisting of internal and external resources. The team must be adapted to the individual sourcing process and it is important that the necessary competence is in place before the process starts.
Sourcing advice
We offer advice in all phases of sourcing, from strategy to negotiations and follow-up of suppliers. We assist in uncovering the advantages and disadvantages of most forms of contract and pricing models. For public sourcing, it is important to choose the right sourcing procedure before starting. The choice of agreement type will have major consequences for complexity, risk sharing, own resource input and requirements for participation. We advise your company on the right sourcing process based on our experience from similar processes and professional knowledge.
Negotiation management
We can lead the negotiations with the supplier, or contribute with support to the internal negotiation manager. We assist with everything from the design of a negotiation strategy to the organization and implementation of the negotiation itself. If necessary, we have our own scheme for training the various roles that will participate in the negotiation.
Quality assurance
We can implements quality assurance in all phases and for all products associated with a sourcing. It is important to ensure a good project justification (Business case) and competitive basis prior to the sourcing. We assist with evaluation and quality assurance of offers and agreements, as well as quality assurance of suppliers and products.
