Our story
Most businesses under a few hundred employees handle purchasing the same way: whoever needs something calls a vendor, gets a quote, and signs. There's rarely time to shop three suppliers, read the fine print on a service agreement, or track whether a "loyal" vendor's pricing has quietly drifted above market.
We started The Procurer to close that gap. Rather than selling software or a single audit, we act as an on-call procurement team — running sourcing events, negotiating contracts, and watching supplier performance the way an in-house buyer would, at a fraction of the cost of hiring one.
How we operate
We don't take commissions, rebates, or referral fees from suppliers. Our only client is whoever is paying our invoice, which means our recommendations aren't shaped by anyone else's margin.
Every engagement starts with a spend review so we can point to real numbers before we ask for a signature, and every sourcing decision comes back to you in writing before a contract is signed.
Schedule E — Principles
These aren't values we print on a wall — they're the rules our buyers work under on every RFQ.
We're compensated only by our clients, never by the vendors we negotiate against.
Every recommendation, comparison, and savings estimate is documented, not just discussed.
Contracts are signed in your name. If you ever leave, your suppliers and terms leave with you.
A slow sourcing process costs as much as a bad price. We hold ourselves to published timelines.
Spend reports are built to be read by an owner or a CFO, not just a procurement specialist.
We tell clients when a category isn't worth renegotiating yet — even if it costs us the work.
A first spend review is a conversation, not a commitment. Tell us what you're buying and we'll tell you what we see.
