Consulting
Lunava Strategy
Lunava Strategy is our consulting line of business. We help organisations make better commercial and technology decisions: clearer requirements, credible supplier markets, defensible evaluation, and contracts that hold up after signature. Procurement consulting sits here, as it always has, alongside sourcing strategy and digital strategy.
The challenge
Poor commercial outcomes rarely start at award. They start with vague requirements, an unmapped market and evaluation criteria that cannot withstand challenge.
Poor procurement and commercial outcomes rarely start at award. They start with vague requirements, an unmapped supplier market, evaluation criteria that cannot withstand challenge, and technology decisions made on promise rather than evidence. The cost of reversing any of these is far greater than the cost of getting them right up front.

Client voices
The evaluation held up under challenge because every criterion traced back to a documented requirement.
They told us the market would not price what we had written. They were right, and they rewrote it.
Questions
Frequently asked
- Are you independent of suppliers?
- On procurement consulting engagements we act solely for the client and declare any interest. Where we advise on a tender, we do not bid for it.
- Do you work on donor-funded procurement?
- Yes. We work to donor and development-partner procurement rules, including documentation and audit-trail requirements.
