Strategic Procurement Support for Every Phase

We offer a structured yet flexible procurement methodology designed to adapt to your unique needs.

Our six-step methodology brings the right people into every phase of the procurement lifecycle, helping agencies manage costs, solve problems, and stay aligned with their mission.

Procurement is an opportunity to add value.

Procurement Phases

Procurement can be seen as a hurdle instead of a solution. We help our clients turn them into opportunities that add value.

In this episode, Stacey is joined by Dustin Lanier of Civic Initiatives to talk about what happens when procurement is treated as a strategic function that can shape better partnerships and smarter investments. They discuss what it takes to build better solicitations, engage vendors more effectively, and create contracts that support long-term goals. Rather than defaulting to rigid compliance or outdated processes, agencies can use procurement to solve real problems, especially when collaboration between procurement offices and program teams is strong.
