Welcome to S3 

S3 offers services designed to help organizations align their procurement program with their mission and mandates to optimize costs, develop long-term relationships, and reduce risks.

Services include:

• Staff training;

• Development of procurement procedures;

• Development of various procurement documents;

• Navigating contractor involvement with company  procurement processes;

• Navigating Montana’s procurement processes via the electronic Montana Acquisition an Contracting System (eMACS)

• Creating scopes of work or product specifications that address market availability to fit organizational needs and mandates; and

• Assessing existing procurement programs to identify areas for improvement.

Strategic sourcing requires a disciplined approach to establish a procurement program that effectively, and successfully manages the procurement lifecycle—from identifying and assessing supply and service needs through final contract closeout and contractor evaluation.  S3 is a resource able to help create that approach.

In keeping with S3's mission our services are designed to provide tools that focus on cost optimization, internal and external customer services, and risk mitigation that result in a sustainable and ethical procurement program.
