Commercial & Procurement Leadership For Public Sector Environments

focus now: the procurement act 2023

As the landscape of Public Sector procurement undergoes significant changes with the introduction of the Procurement Act 2023, it's more crucial than ever to have a strategic partner who understands the intricacies of the new regulations to help navigate this evolving terrain with confidence. Ensuring compliance, efficiency, and value can be challenging, leading to potential risks and inefficiencies. These challenges can result in delayed projects, increased costs, and non-compliance with regulations. Without expert guidance, organisations may miss opportunities for strategic innovation and fail to achieve the best value for their budgets.
At Elon Group, we are equipped to deliver comprehensive procurement services tailored to the unique needs of Public Sector organisations in health, local authority, education and more. With a deep understanding of the latest regulatory changes and a commitment to excellence, we are here to help you achieve your procurement goals efficiently and effectively.

Where procurement decisions carry risk

Procurement decisions now affect far more than contracts and process.  In public-facing and regulated organisations, they influence governance, financial control, service delivery and public confidence.  Senior leaders are often asked to make procurement decisions under pressure — with limited time, competing priorities and increasing scrutiny. When judgement and clarity are missing, procurement can quickly become a source of organisational risk.  Common areas where procurement decisions carry risk include:

Regulatory and Governance Risk

Procurement rules and regulations continue to evolve. Decisions must be compliant and proportionate, but also clearly evidenced and defensible if challenged. The risk is not just getting it wrong, but being unable to explain or justify the decision taken.

Financial Control and Value for Money

Procurement plays a central role in managing cost and value. Poor commercial decisions can lead to weak value-for-money outcomes, financial exposure or decisions that do not stand up to finance or audit review.

 

Delivery and Supplier Risk

Procurement decisions directly affect service delivery. Unclear requirements, weak contract management or over-reliance on suppliers can create delivery issues and long-term dependency.

Capacity and Leadership Gaps

Many organisations lack senior procurement capacity at critical moments. Without experienced leadership, decisions can be delayed, risk-averse or driven by process rather than informed judgement.

Confidence and Stakeholder Trust

Procurement decisions that are not clearly communicated can undermine confidence across the organisation. Even sound decisions can lose support if stakeholders do not understand the rationale or expected outcomes.

Decision Timing and Momentum Risk

EDelays in procurement decision-making can carry as much risk as poor decisions. Prolonged processes, unclear ownership or excessive caution can stall delivery and create wider organisational pressure.

These risks often overlap and intensify during periods of change, scrutiny or pressure — when clear decision-making matters most.  This is where experienced procurement and commercial leadership adds real value.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

I employed the services of Elon Group to provide an outsourced Procurement function for my organisation (an NHS trust). Elon provided a full-service procurement function: from writing the procurement strategy; helping to develop and enhance the policies and procedures used by the trust in this area; to managing the contracts data base and liaising with third parties (including the trust’s internal audit function). Elon Group provided a highly knowledgeable and supportive service that was appreciated by all throughout the Trust. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Elon Group.

Buying goods and services correctly, with best value is now standard practice and integration throughout the supplier journey through to requsitioning, ordering and payment is in the top quartile within the NCL ICS.
