You didn't start your business to master procurement. You started it to pursue your passion.
Let D1 Advisory handle the procurement expertise while you focus on what you do best.
Most Small-Medium Businesses (SMBs) don't have a procurement function. They also don't always need one. Like all businesses they need the right support at the right time. That means someone that helps you test whether your buying options stackup, while building tools that map your buying needs.
D1 Advisory brings the procurement expertise Australian SMBs have been missing. You bring the business knowledge. Together, you make better purchasing decisions, spend less on things that don't matter, and start buying what you need, not what your sold.
For small businesses that have reached the point where ad-hoc buying is costing more than it saves. Function Set-up builds a fit-for-purpose procurement structure around your business: the right processes, the right tools, and enough governance to protect your decisions without slowing them down. Scoped to your size and phased so your team can absorb each stage before the next one lands.
When a buying decision is too large or too complex to handle alone, we step in and provide enterprise-level leadership or run the process for you. You keep control of the decision. We bring the structure, the rigour, and the supplier management so that nothing gets missed. Designed for businesses that do not need a full-time procurement function but need expert support for specific, purchases.
On-call procurement expertise for the decisions that matter most. You have a question about a supplier, a contract, or a negotiation. You get in touch. We work it through together. No ongoing commitment beyond what your business activity requires.
Yes. All engagements operate under professional confidentiality obligations. D1 Advisory does not disclose client information, share commercially sensitive details, or reference client engagements publicly. An NDA can be executed ahead of any engagement where required.
That is entirely fine. Not every engagement is a long-term arrangement. D1 Advisory regularly supports businesses through a single contract review, a specific supplier negotiation, or a one-off tendering process. The scope is set to what you actually need.
Pricing is tailored to scope and engagement level. D1 Advisory does not publish lump-sum prices for most services because no two businesses buy the same way. The Procurement Readiness Assessment is free and takes two minutes. It will tell you which service makes sense for where your business is right now and give you a starting point for the conversation.
Buying Resources is the self-serve option. You get a complete suite of procurement templates and frameworks, onboarding support, and quarterly Q&A sessions to use on your own terms. An Advisory Retainer gives you a direct line to a procurement specialist when a decision is too consequential to navigate alone. Many businesses start with Buying Resources and add a retainer as the stakes increase.
Not every small business needs ongoing procurement support. What most businesses do need is the right support at the right moment: when a contract is being signed, when a supplier is pushing back on price, or when a purchasing decision is large enough that getting it wrong has real consequences. D1 Advisory's services are scoped to fit that reality. You do not commit to more than you need.
Take our Procurement Readiness Assessment. We'll tell you where we think your business sits, what to focus on first that makes sense for where you want your business to get to.
