Public Sector Procurement Strategy and Analysis

Build a compliant, outcomes-driven procurement strategy

Public procurement is evolving rapidly. The expectations on public bodies to deliver measurable value, demonstrate social impact, and comply with the Procurement Act 2023 are higher than ever.

At eXceeding, we help public sector organisations create and implement procurement strategies that balance compliance, efficiency, and outcomes. Our approach is designed to give clarity, control, and confidence to your procurement function, ensuring your teams are equipped to deliver lasting impact.

The challenge

Procurement teams across the public sector face a unique set of pressures:

  • Navigating the requirements of PCR 2023, including transparency, fairness, and defensible procurement decisions
  • Ensuring ongoing compliance and audit readiness within tight timescales
  • Limited clarity over the most appropriate routes to market for different categories and values
  • Fragmented supplier markets and inconsistent commercial outcomes

Without a cohesive strategy, procurement can easily become reactive, focused on short-term fixes rather than long-term improvement.

Our solution

Our Strategy and Analysis service gives you a clear, evidence-based plan for improving procurement performance.
We work with you on any of the following

  1. Ensuring compliance with PCR 2023, embedding governance, transparency, and defensible processes throughout the procurement lifecycle
  2. Procurement redesign and operating model development to align structure, capability, and governance
  3. Benchmarking and market analysis to validate performance, pricing, and supplier competitiveness
  4. Route-to-market strategy, including framework selection, open procedures, and compliant alternatives
  5. Current state spend analysis to identify risks, opportunities, and priority areas for action

The result is a procurement function that is not only compliant, but also strategic, efficient, and outcomes-focused.
