What it does
Built for the documents procurement runs on
Syphon works through the strategies, plans, reviews and tender packs that move through a procurement function every week. It checks what is there, notices what is missing, and gives your team a clearer starting point.
Sourcing strategy and planning
Tests whether a strategy holds together, from the business need through to the approach, risks and approvals sought.
Tender readiness
Reviews a market approach before release, so gaps and inconsistencies are found early rather than through clarification questions.
Contract review and management
Follows commitments, performance and spend across the life of a contract, and flags where the picture does not add up.
Commercial value
Looks for value being left on the table, from pricing drift to benefits that were promised but not tracked.
Approach
Assurance and excellence, side by side
Every review asks two questions. Can this be relied on, and could it be better? People stay in charge of the answer.
Assurance
Can it be relied on?
Checks consistency, calculations, evidence and approvals, and calls out content that should be present but is not.
Excellence
Could it be better?
Offers opportunities to consider, drawn back to the objectives the work set out to achieve.
Control
A person confirms the result
Syphon recommends and prepares. The reviewer decides what stands and what leaves the system.
