Fractional Chief Procurement Officer | D1 Advisory

Some procurement activities require more than advice. They require someone who can run the process. A Fractional Chief Procurement Officer gives your organisation access to experienced procurement capacity without the commitment of a permanent hire. D1 Advisory embeds a senior procurement leader in your team for a defined scope or period, runs the procurement process end to end, and involves your people at every stage so they build capability as the work progresses.

What this includes

End-to-end management of defined procurement activities: D1 Advisory takes ownership of the procurement process for a specific project, category, or period. Your team is involved. Your outcomes are managed. The difference is that someone with deep procurement experience is running the process.

Supplier identification, evaluation, and recommendation: D1 Advisory identifies the right suppliers, builds the evaluation framework, and runs the assessment. Your team participates in scoring and shortlisting, which means they learn the process as it happens.

Contract negotiation and execution support: D1 Advisory leads or supports the negotiation, ensuring that the terms protect your organisation and the agreement reflects what was actually committed during the evaluation.

Knowledge transfer throughout the engagement (C3D): Every stage of the engagement includes structured knowledge transfer. Your team does not watch from the sideline. They are involved in the process, understand the reasoning behind decisions, and finish with tools and frameworks they can use independently.

Transition documentation and handover: At the conclusion of the engagement, D1 Advisory delivers a structured handover: process documentation, templates used, evaluation records, and a summary of what was done and why. The organisation retains everything.
