Procurement Optimization

Bronner can help improve procurement processes to make them more efficient, effective, equitable and accountable. 

Public sector entities rely on partnerships with vendors to provide many of the critical goods and services needed to serve their constituents. Procurement is often an enterprise-wide function, making quality procurements critical to the success of the entire organization.  

To be effective stewards of taxpayer dollars, governments must find ways to identify and obtain high quality goods and services at the lowest possible cost without sacrificing quality, all while ensuring procurement processes are legally compliant and conducted with integrity.  

In government, procurement is more than a necessary business function; the right policies can also help improve equity and support local economic development goals.  

Bronner can help balance these competing demands and supports governments in procuring goods and services in a timely, compliant, accessible, and cost-effective manner.  

• Bronner recognizes the value of data, providing spend analysis, assistance creating buying plans, and with the development and evaluation of Requests for Proposals. These services can help governments grow their pool of bidders, resulting in more choices, increased competition, and enhanced supplier diversity. 

• Bronner’s procurement optimization services build capacity for organizations through training on critical issues such as compliance requirements and how to develop an effective scope of work to attract high quality proposals. Bronner institutionalizes training by assisting with the development of structured, written policies and procedures.  

• Drawing from its deep experience providing accountability services, Bronner also provides audit procurements, helping to ensure procurements were conducted with integrity and in compliance with requirements. In some cases, reviews have focused on specific aspects of the procurement process, such as the use of MBE/WBE/DBEs or compliance with specific grant requirements.  Bronner’s knowledge of the procurement process helps guide these reviews and result in practical, useful recommendations.
