Press Releases

At the Annual Procurement Industry awards held in Melbourne, Portland Group has been recognised with a special Achievement Award, the first time such an award has been made to a procurement services provider. In presenting the award, David Noble, Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS), said as follows:

"This year, CIPS would like to recognise a strategic contribution to the procurement profession from the local service industry here in Australia.

In Procurement we are dependent on our suppliers much of the time; … increasingly as Procurement Professionals we are also dependent on our service providers as well - increasingly as our economic cycles become more pronounced.

One service provider in particular has delivered a number of things that have changed the landscape of the service sector in Australia:

• They have provided a real, and local, alternative to the big 6 consultancies – and are now listed first by these firms as their principal competitor
• They have consistently presented a twin offering covering the breadth of two closely related disciplines - Procurement and Supply Chain Management consulting
• They have also provided a local alternative for managed services provision – making the concept accessible for smaller requirements
• They have made the independent boutique consulting approach valid in Australia, and opened up the possibility of considering smaller firms – even for the big jobs

In recognition of a decade of work building Portland Group into the acknowledged contributor it is today, CIPS Australia would like to present this special Achievement Award"

Portland Group would like to thank all of our employees and clients for their contribution to our success over the last decade. We look forward to continuing to drive innovation and excellence in the procurement services sector in the Asia Pacific region, for the benefit of all of our stakeholders. With the global support and capabilities of our parent company, Infosys, we believe we are very well positioned to continue to lead the sector for the next decade.
