reason
for

procurement
consultants is that they know the best practices and can infuse new ideas. Best practices in procurement typically are process changes that require implementation to make them valuable. Since procurement is inherently project based, if the practices aren’t learned by the in-house team the consultants affect will be short-lived.

procurement scenario. Organizations that hire procurement consultants are very likely to gain an upper hand from their competitors. Many organizations hire freelance procurement consultants so as to get their job done with minimal efforts. It is this vast experience that makes them gain additional market knowledge while decreasing the information asymmetry.

Work smarter, not harder Organizations can boost their efficiency levels and reduce information asymmetry with some suppliers by hiring a procurement consultant but If an effort is not made to learn from the consultants it can be a short-lived gain (at best) or a long-term staff augmentation (at worst) if you lose the ability to perform the function internally.
