Delivering Evidence Based Solutions
Many organisations know their procurement function could work harder. They can see the gaps in governance, the fragmented processes, the missed opportunities. What they need is not another report with recommendations. They need someone who has built procurement functions from the ground up, navigated the hard yards of implementation, and knows what it takes to make the changes stick. That is what QBE Consulting delivers.
Procurement Current State Review
Understanding where you are is the foundation of any meaningful improvement. QBE Consulting conducts a structured diagnostic of your procurement function — examining performance against objectives, governance, process design, systems, supplier relationships, and team capability. Working closely with your team, we deliver findings that are specific, actionable, and honest about what is working, what isn't, and what needs to change. The current state review is typically the starting point for broader transformation work, but it also stands alone as a valuable exercise for any organisation wanting to understand its procurement maturity and make better decisions about where to focus next.
01
Typical Focus Areas
Procurement governance, controls and policy alignment
Process maturity, workflows and operational effectiveness
Team capability, role clarity and stakeholder engagement
Procurement systems, data visibility and reporting
Supplier onboarding, oversight and compliance adoption
Operating Model Design and Transformation
A procurement function that is designed around how your organisation actually operates will always outperform one built from a textbook. QBE Consulting designs operating models that reflect your structure, your stakeholders, and your commercial priorities. From governance and accountability frameworks through to team design, ways of working, and process architecture, the result is a function that is fit for purpose, scalable, and ready to perform from day one.

Supplier Governance and Performance
Designing and implementing best practice SRM frameworks that move supplier relationships beyond transactional management. This includes supplier segmentation, performance frameworks, review cadences, and the capability building needed to ensure your team can run effective supplier relationships independently after the engagement ends.

Supplier segmentation and SRM framework design
Performance scorecards, KPIs and review cadences
Supplier accountability, escalation and risk management
Contract performance governance and oversight

Transformation Delivery, Systems & AI Enablement
Transformation doesn't stop at design. The hardest part is making change stick in a live operating environment — where people are busy, uncertain, or resistant to new ways of working. QBE Consulting provides hands-on implementation support, working alongside your team to manage the transition, embed new operating models, and ensure change takes hold. The measure of success isn't a project sign-off — it's a procurement function that keeps performing long after the engagement ends. That includes getting the technology right. Procurement systems should reduce friction, improve visibility, and support better decisions, and QBE Consulting ensures they're configured to reflect your actual processes rather than the other way around. We also help identify and integrate AI solutions that are practical, suited to your environment, and adopted effectively by your people through targeted training and change support.
