Sourcing and Outsourcing Services
In our view, contractual terms and conditions must be adapted to the needs and requirements of business enterprises – not the other way around. Our experienced experts combine legal matters with your business operations and avoid contracts that are disadvantageous for you. Taking us along in procurement or outsourcing processes ensures a successful outcome.
Procurement contracts provide the opportunity to ensure not only a competitive price but also an uninterrupted continuation of those operations critical for your company, as well as to minimize other business-related risks. Our experience enables us to focus on the right issues and ensure that the goals set by the client remain central throughout the procurement process, from competitive bidding to negotiations and signing. We have extensive experience supporting both suppliers and buyers.
Our expertise on your side of the table
In preparing procurement contracts, we take on as expansive a role as the client wishes. In comprehensive projects, we guarantee that the essential legal matters are taken into consideration already during the competitive tendering process. A carefully realised competitive tendering process facilitates the actual contractual negotiation stage. However, jurisprudence is not an absolute value; rather, value for the customer is comprised from bringing the contract into being on schedule as well as business-related benefits.
The client can define our role according to their needs: We can act as negotiators on behalf of the client or support the client’s procurement professionals and business representatives behind the scenes. With abundant experience from both domestic and international negotiations, we can identify the essential entities and risks from a business perspective.
Know-how is necessary when outsourcing
In outsourcing, the customer’s skill in purchasing is of decisive importance. We are happy to assist in ensuring that the client gets exactly what they need.
An outsourcing project is always a significant undertaking for a company, and having a partner who understands the objectives and ensures their implementation is essential. We take the project forward and generate the contractual documentation.
Outsourcing stages:
- Preparation of competitive tendering
- NDA (non-disclosure agreement)
- RFI (request for information)
- RFP (request for proposal)
- Analysis and evaluation of tenders
- Decision on the supplier or short-listed candidates
