Your procurement resource requirement may only be for a short period of time, to support the existing team when they lack capacity or specific knowledge. In this case, our consultants will work with you to define and fill the gap.
However, in some cases, there is a longer-term requirement and there are three ways in which you can fill your resource or business skills gaps. Through consultancy, outsourcing or resourcing….
Consultancy
Working with external consultants, with expert category or market knowledge, on specific challenges within your business, for a fixed period of time.
Outsourcing
Delegating an entire function to another company to run on your behalf, which is managed by your organisation through your contractual agreement.
Resourcing
A permanent or interim resource who joins your organisation, under your direction, to support you at times of change or for special projects.
eXceeding’s resourcing consultants can support you with any of these strategic sourcing solutions and give you access to the tailored expertise you need.

We engaged eXceeding to manage the review of our current Outsourced IT Infrastructure contract. eXceeding defined and ran a two stage PQQ and RFP process. The process assessed market changes, new commercial models and contractual approaches which best served Capco’s needs and not potential suppliers.
The result was that we saved a massive amount of time that we didn’t have, significantly reduced costs, increased service and got a better contract, safe in the knowledge that the process ran fairly and unemotionally.
The major plus point from an Aspall perspective was that using eXceeding ensured that there was continual momentum driving the project forward.
I would have no hesitation in recommending eXceeding to another business or using them again for any future projects.
Working with the eXceeding team created a close and trusted partnership, with them regularly taking an active part in the CCS Board meetings throughout the contract review process. The consultants helped us understand and navigate the complex BPO contract that had evolved over many years. Once the specification was understood and documented eXceeding did a comprehensive market review and then presented the options and made recommendations. eXceeding then assisted to deliver and execute the agreed approach.
