Bloom offers a dynamic supply chain providing the public sector with a marketplace to buy and manage services. We ensure delivery of quality outcomes from our pre-approved and ever growing network of suppliers and consultants. Our fully compliant open access marketplace is outcomes-based, meaning the public sector only pays for what is delivered.
We provide a compliant managed procurement service covering specification development, supplier identification & onboarding, commercial management and lessons learned upon successful delivery of outcomes.
Our team of procurement specialists will work with you to develop a fully compliant, outcomes-based specification for your project or programme, providing standardised documentation and sharing learnings and best practice based on the more than 7000 projects we have delivered to date.
Selecting from our dynamic supplier marketplace encompassing large corporates, SMEs and Third Sector, we will draw on our internal knowledge and data to propose a shortlist of appropriate service suppliers, identifying and onboarding new suppliers where needed.
We will deliver a managed sourcing process through direct award or mini-competition, including creating and publishing the invitation to tender (ITT), managing clarifying questions pre-tender and issuing bids on receipt for evaluation.
Working alongside you and your appointed supplier, we will develop a detailed, robust and fully compliant Statement of Works that is based on outcomes and value.
Our team of Commercial Managers will work with you and your appointed supplier to ensure all SDPs (Supplier Delivery Plans) are submitted and approved in line with the completion of agreed milestones, meaning you only ever pay for what has been delivered. We will also provide regular reporting on the status and progress of your projects against planned deliverables.
We believe that social value outcomes should be at the heart of procurement. Through our dynamic marketplace of suppliers we are proud to support you to open up your procurement opportunities to all 3rd sector organisations – SMEs, mutuals, charities, and social enterprises.
Our solution delivers impact to local economies, allowing you to select local suppliers to deliver your projects, harnessing the finest talent from across the public, private and voluntary sectors.
