Getting Started with Services Procurement: Why Visibility Matters

Services procurement represents one of the largest areas of external workforce spend — yet it is often one of the least understood and least visible.  

The good news is you don’t need a complex procurement organization to manage services procurement.  The first step is simply to create visibility. By capturing the basics — what services are being purchased and who is delivering them — organizations can answer vital questions executives are already asking.  

This webinar is designed for leaders in the early stages of building a contingent workforce program. We’ll show how services procurement can fit your overall contingent workforce management strategy. Once you can see services spend alongside contingent labor spend, you’ll gain a more holistic view of your external workforce. This combined visibility enables better business decisions, stronger compliance, and opportunities for cost savings.  

By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:  

1. Define what services procurement is and why it matters  

2. Spot risks created by unmanaged services spend 

3. See how visibility into contracts and projects adds immediate value  

4. Understand how linking contingent labor and services spend drives smarter staffing decisions
