At GreyfriarsCost Management,we provide independent procurement advice to help clients select the most appropriate procurement strategy and contractual approach for their project. We understand that procurement decisions have a significant impact on cost, programme, risk, and overall project success, and our role is to provide clear, unbiased advice tailored to each client’s objectives.
There is no single procurement route that suits every project. Our open-minded approach ensures clients fully understand the options available and the implications of each, enabling informed and confident decision-making.
Selecting the right procurement strategy is a critical early decision that influences how risk is allocated, how contractors are engaged, and how cost certainty is achieved. Greyfriars Cost Management works closely with clients and project teams to assess priorities such as cost control, programme certainty, quality, and risk appetite.
We provide clear guidance on how different procurement routes perform against these priorities, helping clients choose an approach that aligns with the specific requirements of their project.

Understanding Risk, Cost and Contractual Implications
Procurement decisions directly affect cost certainty and risk exposure. Greyfriars Cost Management helps clients understand how different procurement routes allocate risk between parties and how this impacts pricing, programme, and change control.
