An extra pair of hands
What: Let Aster join your team and share the load. Whether you have in house capability that is already at capacity, or no resource at all but need some procurement support, we can step up and pitch in.
How: We’ll get up to speed, swiftly assess your needs, then roll up our sleeves and get on with it! Effective and flexible resource, there whenever you need it.
Deliverables: Highly capable, flexible and professional procurement capability at your disposal but at a fraction of the cost of an FTE.
Develop
Program support
What: Sometimes programs need dedicated procurement support that isn’t distracted by BAU, or a particular category specialism to add tangible value. We provide resource to deliver your programs.
How: We will slot in quickly and easily, engage the wider team and support your program with efficiency, expertise and professionalism.
Deliverables: A fully supported program, with the procurement workstream owned and delivered by our resource.
Extend
Leadership

Deliverables: A robustly led program, with governance, control, comms and delivery all expertly owned by our professionals.
