Project Framework (Commercial ‑ Procurement and Contracts)

Logistics Consulting under contract with an Australian based Phosphate developer implemented over a six-month period a comprehensive, fit-for-purpose Outsourced Contracting Framework for their project.

The Framework delivered clear commercial Governance, Value and Value for Money controls, strong Local-Content prioritisation, and a structured Indigenous Participation. This level-based Framework included third-party provider engagement models, a dedicated Indigenous participation pathway, and a procurement route determination guide.

It was structured as follows:

Level 1 – Master Document (Outsourced Contracting Framework)
Level 2 – Core Policies & Authority
Level 3 – Core Processes & Governance Tools (Detailed 24-Stage Contracting Process and Procurement Route Determination Guide)
Level 4 – Supporting Guides & Forms
Level 5 – Live Operational Registers & Tools (Contracting Status Report and Regional Suppliers Register)

What was implemented for the Client on the Project?

7 Phases / 24 standardised stages
8-factor scoring tool for Path A (Competitive Tender) vs Path B (Non-Tender)
Special Indigenous Engagement + Benefits Register + Ethical Walls for all Indigenous engagements
Strong Northern Territory region local-content preference
Live Contracting Status Report
Regional Suppliers Register

Procurement Strategy & Planning

We recommend engaging Logistics Consulting at an early project stage. This enables development of a "fit for purpose" Procurement Plan where necessary elements are brainstormed, process mapped, verified, and aligned with key project documents.

A well thought out Procurement Plan assists the project in applying optimal resources, reducing rework, and providing ongoing user training.

Process mapping and documentation
Resource optimisation
Alignment with project management plans

Strategic Sourcing

Strategic Sourcing activities analyse the market to source potential companies for Supplier Prequalification and assess local content vs indent/offshore commodities.

Companies undertaking Supplier Qualification techniques can expect to substantially reduce their Tender phase for Procurement packages.
