procurement service ...

... especially when it comes to maximising the use of subsidies. EurA, one of Germany's leading management consultancies specialising in innovation and funding, provides expert support for all your procurement needs.

We manage procurement projects in full compliance with both sub-threshold and above-threshold procedures on behalf of our clients. We handle everything from publicising opportunities to obtaining and evaluating offers.

In addition to defining key performance indicators and establishing the contractual framework for the subsequent provision of services, we conduct thorough research on potential bidders. We design tenders to be market-responsive, fostering healthy competition that drives cost-effective procurement results. Our aim is to consider each bidder's unique characteristics while ensuring that all bids are directly comparable.

 

Four reasons to choose our
procurement service

Icon_cyan_Rechtssicherheit

 

Legal Certainty: Navigating the complex legal landscape of procurement is challenging, with frequent changes in regulations and case law. Contracts must not only be awarded in compliance with these laws but also aim to secure the most economically attractive offer. Over-cautiousness can stifle quality tenders, while insufficient caution can result in reclaims or penalties. Our procurement service provides the legal protection you need while striving to secure the best possible offer.

 

Icon_cyan_Mitarbeiterbindung und Neugewinnung

Capacity Support: Procurement procedures and deadlines are generally predefined and inflexible, making it challenging to ensure that goods and services are available by the desired date. Our procurement service provides the additional capacity needed to expedite the process, helping you meet your timelines more effectively.

 

Icon_cyan_besondere_Leistungsbeschreibung

Creating Special Service Descriptions: While many software solutions exist for procuring standard products, acquiring individual innovative services that are not off-the-shelf presents unique challenges. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in innovation consulting, we offer specialised expertise in designing and formulating innovation projects. We focus on defining performance criteria and control measures, identifying suitable partners, and evaluating technologies, solution approaches, and project risks. Additionally, we can assess whether subsidies are available to support your investment.

Procurement of Innovations: Innovation and procurement can go hand in hand, though traditional tender documents often fail to encourage innovative solutions. We address this by creating more innovation-friendly documents and conducting specialised procurement processes tailored for innovations. By seamlessly integrating innovation into the procurement process, we bridge the gap between demand and supply, serving as an effective intermediary to bring groundbreaking solutions to market.

Our focus on innovations
and special procurements

Depending on the technological maturity of an innovation approach, there are four possible solutions from an awarding perspective:

Our approach in three steps

Innovation procurement with EurA

In contrast to traditional procurement, where the correct implementation of the process is the top priority, innovation procurement focuses on a detailed needs assessment (Need) and the development of the necessary market knowledge (Match) before the purchasing process (Buy) can begin.

We support both the need and the purchasing departments.

Need

Support for the demand centers

Once a field of action has been identified, the needs assessment begins:

  • Needs identification
  • Needs evaluation
  • Goal definition (primary and secondary goals of the institute and others, drafting and coordinating strategies)
  • Specifying the needs

Match

Support for the demand centers

Market knowledge is the be-all and end-all in this step.

  • Determine the state of the art
  • Search for potential providers and partners
  • Finding solutions
  • Matchmaking (targeted networking)
  • Organise exchange with stakeholders
  • Analyse technological feasibility
  • Evaluate feasibility, risks, patent situation, framework conditions, financing and target achievement
  • Where possible, create an exchange with users from early test stages in order to take learning effects into account
  • Critically review individual aspects of the planned fulfillment of requirements
  • Evaluate the technological scope between the state of the art and the target solution
  • Assessment of economic efficiency
  • Create a realisation concept

Buy

Support for purchasing

The actual buying process in procurement takes place in several phases:

  • Planning and preparation of the tender
  • Implementation of the award procedure
  • Evaluation and selection of bids
  • Preparation of the documentation
