Our Experience
At Proximity, we help government clients get the most from their contracts and supplier relationships – with a practical, outcomes-focused approach to both contract management and vendor management.
Contract management
We support the day-to-day management of individual contracts to ensure delivery is on track, obligations are met, and risks are managed. Our advisors work alongside you to:
- Monitor contract performance and service levels
- Manage variations, extensions and disputes
- Ensure compliance with terms and governance requirements
- Support reporting, reviews and audits
Because many of our advisors are also involved in the procurement phase, we understand how to set contracts up for success and manage them smoothly through delivery.
Vendor management
Beyond individual contracts, we help you manage strategic supplier relationships across multiple engagements. Our approach ensures you get the best from your vendors while fostering productive, long-term partnerships.
We help you:
- Establish governance frameworks, accountabilities, and review structures
- Coordinate supplier performance across contracts and business units
- Lead supplier relationship management (SRM) forums and performance reviews
- Identify risks, improvement opportunities and innovation potential
