Commercial Services

Like most critical business functions, procurement is a layered, fluid business process with multiple stages. And for all parties involved, the process can sometimes be a complex and expensive one. The typical commercial steps in a contract lifecycle include commercial team strategy, sourcing strategy, negotiation, procurement planning, contract management and contract transition, through to contract exit.
