Procurement Support and Coaching in Direct and Indirect Spend Categories
Procurement support and coaching
Sustainable value created
- We started as a temporary category manager for Technical Goods & Services for 6 months to replace someone leaving on maternity leave
- After 6 months NMBS asked to continue providing support to the TG&S team to realise more public tenders
- After 1 year NMBS asked to provide support to the direct procurement team with the sourcing of e.g. a complex mechanical auxiliary components project
Client Profile
NMBS, the operator organising and commercialising Belgian train traffic.
Project Scope
The NMBS lacked resources to execute public tendering in a timely and efficient manner.
Hudicor’s Approach
We leveraged our tried and tested methodology and provided procurement services. We executed public tendering for different categories within the indirect and direct spend areas.
Indirect:
- industrial gasses
- electrical tools
- electrical supplies
- workshop equipment
Direct:
- sand
- oil and lubricants
- auxiliary components
We also provided coaching services for the NMBS procurement staff.
Leveraging Hudicor extensive experience created a lot of value for us.
On average, more than 10% of TCO savings were achieved.
