Procurement can feel overwhelming with layers of compliance requirements, evolving policies, and shifting market dynamics, it’s easy for organisations to lose sight of value-for-money outcomes. But it doesn’t have to be complicated.

EMA Advisory has developed the Procurement as a Capability (PaaC) framework: a structured yet flexible model that helps government and industry assess procurement maturity, identify gaps, and implement targeted improvements. By shifting the focus from rigid processes to adaptive capability, PaaC empowers organisations to:

  • Strengthen governance, probity, & defensibility in decision-making
  • Improve supplier engagement and supply chain resilience
  • Optimise asset lifecycles and investment planning
  • Build commercial capability across programs and projects
  • Align procurement with organisational strategy, outcomes, & value

Our PaaC Jenga model illustrates how each element of procurement capability supports the whole structure. Just as removing the wrong block can collapse a tower, neglecting critical aspects like risk management, compliance, or supplier relationships can destabilise procurement outcomes. By reinforcing these load bearing “blocks” and designing resilient foundations, organisations can sustain performance, adapt to change, and unlock long-term value.

With PaaC, EMA Advisory provides clarity, confidence, and a roadmap for continuous improvement, enabling procurement to shift from a compliance function to a true strategic enabler of success.

Commercial Optimisation is about maximising value from every contract, supplier relationship, and procurement decision, going beyond the norm to drive efficiency, innovation, and long-term benefits.

We deliver outcomes by:

  • Embedding probity and governance into procurement and contract processes, ensuring transparency, defensibility, and compliance.
  • Optimising asset lifecycles to extend value, reduce risk, and align investment with strategic priorities.
  • Strengthening supply chain performance, driving resilience, sustainability, and accountability across complex networks.
  • Enhancing supplier engagement and negotiations, building partnerships that encourage innovation and deliver measurable results.
  • Leveraging data-driven insights to improve decision-making, forecast demand, and align spend with business goals.

Through streamlined procurement, robust governance, and tailored commercial strategies, EMA Advisory enables organisations to achieve extraordinary outcomes extracting maximum value, mitigating risk, and building enduring capability.

Contract Management as a Service (CMaaS) is EMA Advisory’s flexible solution that gives organisations access to specialist contract management capability when and how they need it.
