    • Participate in make vs buy discussions to challenge external spend - driving internal self-perform.
  2. Supplier identification, selection and negotiation
    • Review and analyse current spend within the division to maintain comprehensive knowledge of supply base and contract status and identify value improvement opportunities by reducing costs or improving service delivery.
    • Review market to identify new and alternative suppliers to meet CBRE's needs - including new sectors.
    • Ensure suppliers are safe, sustainable and appropriately accredited.

Conduct regular audits and performance reviews with suppliers to maintain effective relationships and identify value improvement opportunities.
  3. Supplier management
    • Promote performance management, innovation and continuous improvement to contracts and discuss how to replicate supplier improvements, success to other CBRE contracts for mutual benefit.
    • Actively benchmark suppliers on price and capability to drive best value.
  4. Educate and advise on procurement best practice
    • Develop internal stakeholders' procurement expertise.
    • Advise on CBRE's supply chain capabilities and participate in supplier meetings with contract staff.
    • Promote and champion use of CBRE procurement tools to deliver benefit to each contract.
