Consultancy Purchasing Group

For several years the IC has been developing a strong relationship with the broader consultancy purchasing community to ensure that there is a clear and growing understanding of each others’ roles in getting the best from consultancy assignments.

Consultancy Purchasing Group (CPG) and Consultancy Purchasing Steering Group (CPSG)

The CPG is an independent environment where procurement professionals can exchange views and ideas with their peers on how to buy consulting services most effectively. The CPG 'network' includes professional buyers from a wide variety of different organisations, both private and public sector, and a self selecting 'steering group' (CPSG) provides overall co-ordination and direction.

The IC firmly believe that proactive engagement with the purchasing community is essential in helping to ensure the effectiveness of consultancy support within client organisations and the provision of useful consultancy support services for both members and purchasing organisations.

If you are responsible for purchasing consultancy services within your organisation then we would be delighted to have you as a member of our buyer network. Please find us on LinkedIn or contact Paul Vincent, the CPSG chair.
