Challenge

The consultant had been delivering services and solutions to a customer in the public sector for many years. Unfortunately, due to changes within the client’s organisation the consultant was unsure how to advise the end client on contracting their services. They were also in a rush to get started on the project engagement due to time constraints.

Engagement

ONPAR helped simplify and navigate contracting for the independent consultant.

By directing the consultant and their client to a procurement vehicle that was already in place. Eliminating stress for both the consultant and the client. While enabling both stakeholders to concentrate on the project engagement at hand.

Impact

The consultant had no interruption in work cycle. While the end client was able to complete their mandated project on time and with recognized positive results.

Insights

If you can anticipate repeat consulting requirements with a client, even when on a case by case basis. It is better for cost efficiency and strategic value to put a supply agreement in place that spans multiple years. Allowing both the consultants and clients to better coordinate systematic results.
