Procurement Transformation in Police

“Redcap worked effectively with Hertfordshire Constabulary over a three year period. In this time Redcap demonstrated a strong understanding of how to drive forward improvements in the procurement processes, and the ability to work across all levels of the organisation in supporting the implementation of change and training of staff.

We have developed strong confidence in Redcap and hence have engaged them on new projects as the needs have arisen, and would recommend them to other organisations wishing to develop their procurement function.” James Hurley ~ Director of Support Services, Hertfordshire Constabulary
"Bedfordshire Police asked Redcap Associates to conduct a full review of the Force Central Procurement Unit, reporting on the then current situation and making recommendations and conclusions for the future.

David Pratt listened carefully to what was asked for, developed a great understanding of the client and tailor-made the review programme to suit our requirements.

Throughout the project David and his associates conducted their business in a friendly and professional manner. They were sensitive to the issues at stake, were adaptable in their approach and completed their work on schedule, always delivering what they promised.

I am very grateful to David and his team for their support and would have no hesitation in recommending Redcap Associates to any other organisation" Linda Baxter ~ Procurement Manager, Bedfordshire Police
