Category management
Fixed plant / Fleet / Consumables
Structured sourcing and category strategy across the spend base. Spend consolidated, leakage closed, contracts written to hold.
Source-to-contract strategies for mining operations. Stronger supply continuity, lower total cost of ownership, and contractor performance you can hold to a number.
Transforming procurement into strategic advantage: outcome‑driven delivery, with a disciplined balance of process and practicality.

Fixed plant / Fleet / Consumables
Structured sourcing and category strategy across the spend base. Spend consolidated, leakage closed, contracts written to hold.
Tendering / Market testing
Tender management end to end: market approach, evaluation, negotiation and award, with emerging markets tested on real benchmarks.
Availability / MTBF / MTTR
Performance-based contracts that tie payment to availability, with supplier selection aimed squarely at reducing downtime.
Segmentation / Dual sourcing
Governance that holds continuity when markets tighten, with acquisition planning that frees capital without starving operations.
Both sides of the contract, so the commercial position is understood before it is argued.
One integrated model rather than three disconnected functions handing work between them.
Capital procurement led at package level, from single purchases to major shutdowns.
Delivered through established engineering partners when a package calls for it.
Procurement is not paperwork. Done properly it is the lever that protects margin and keeps the plant running.
No forms and no gatekeepers. Call Duane directly, or copy the address and write when it suits you.
