Procurement as a Collaborative Service (PACS)

PACS is our procurement consultancy services offering, utilising our core strategic sourcing solutions to solve your people, organisational and supply chain challenges. Our methodology adapts to your requirements to enable the approach to suit you, and we mobilise and engage with you and your business at pace. Whether you’re wanting to transform or step-change your function, build supply chain resilience, lead tender programmes, implement supplier collaboration solutions, deliver significant savings, or create your procurement and supply chain strategy, we can help you.

Collaboration sits at the heart of what we do and how we operate. This approach enables us to work with you to achieve business outcomes faster and at a lower cost.

We have the experience and flexibility to bring in the right expert at the right time, and at the right price. The right resource is as much to do with values and competencies, as it is to do with technical background.

Our procurement consultancy approach flexes to your business requirements and to your environment. We work with you in collaboration, getting to know you and your organisation quickly, and we deliver at pace. Our procurement consultancy services are competitively priced and our commitment is to develop long-term sustainable relationships in support of your priorities and success.

IR35 | How our procurement consultancy services comply

Most of our consultancy projects will fall outside of scope of IR35. When engaging with The Procurement Hive for your required consultancy support, you can expect the following:

  • Our contracts explicitly state the remit of our consultants via a Statement of Work.
  • We agree up front, key milestones with each client and these are reflected in our contracts. We then typically invoice based on completion of these milestones.
  • Our consultants use their own equipment, software, vehicles, etc. They are fully self-reliant and self-directing in the delivery of our assignments, working their own, varied hours, etc.
  • We always stress to any internal or external stakeholders that we are acting as consultants and not as employees of our client. Consultants are not contracted directly with our clients and do not receive employee benefits such as holiday pay, sick pay, or pension payments.
  • The Procurement Hive consultants often work with multiple clients at any one time, both through us and other channels. Our contracts allow for supply of suitable, substitute resources to enable continuity of our services.
  • The Procurement Hive consultants never fill a vacant permanent role within an organisation; our assignments are specific to a diverse number of complex challenges.
  • Our consultant contracts are on-going and do not have a fixed end date, and any project dates agreed with our clients are estimates.
