Our Services

In the current climate, organisations in both the public and private sector are challenged to make budgets stretch to fit organisational goals and objectives, with non-pay spend representing a significant portion of this budget. Sound procurement practice can often be a means to realise cost savings and gain significant concessions from the supply base. In-tend's suite of procurement services products can positively impact your purchasing spend whilst insulating organisation from compliance risk.
