Strategic Sourcing & Negotiation: maximizing the value of every tender.

End-to-end management of your strategic procurement operations: preparation, sourcing, negotiation, contracting. We put our expertise at your service for measurable results.

The Challenge

A poorly prepared tender means 10 to 20% lost value.

Sourcing performance is largely decided before the consultation is launched. Vague specifications, poorly qualified supplier panel, unbalanced evaluation grid, improvised negotiation: all traps that turn a savings opportunity into a missed chance.

Diwan Advisory intervenes across the entire cycle, from initial framing to contract signing. We bring methodological rigor, market expertise and negotiation capability to turn every operation into a performance lever.

"A negotiation is won upstream. At the table, you reap what preparation has sown."

Six steps to maximize value.

01

Strategic framing

Definition of objectives, value levers sought and optimal procurement strategy: single lot or allotment, competitive or negotiated market, duration and commitment.

02

Specifications & sourcing

Drafting precise and discriminating specifications. Identification and qualification of the target supplier panel, including emerging or international alternatives.

03

Consultation management

Management of the RFP process: Q&A, comparative offer analysis, weighted scoring grid, objective shortlist. Preparation of negotiation sessions.

04

Negotiation

Leading or co-leading negotiation sessions. Multi-lever strategy (price, terms, associated services, commitments). Tactical best-and-final and controlled closing.

05

Contracting

Drafting and negotiating key contractual clauses: SLA, penalties, indexation, governance, exit. Legal security in coordination with your legal department.

06

Transition & deployment

Support for service launch: transfer, training of internal users, first steering committee, measurement of initial results.
