Fit-for-Purpose Commercial Services and Business Support
Services and Support Focused on Your Value Proposition and Business Growth.
Supporting Your Business Like Our Own
We deliver a broad range of commercial solutions for our clients, focused on their value proposition and business growth. The general areas of support include commercial business advisory, procurement and tendering support. However, given our diverse skill set and business experience, we often support our clients across other areas of business.
Our Commercial Services Include:
Commercial Support and Business Services
When delivering commercial services and support to our clients, we are often requested to provide support with finding solutions to strategic and/or complex commercial problems/issues. We work with our clients to determine what is the best support needed and where needed, also access our diverse network to provide assistance. Most of our clients have been working with us for a considerable period of time as we:
- tend to build long term relationships in the process of solving issues and developing commercial solutions;
- we get an in-depth understanding of our clients’ intellectual property and know-how and often assist in finding innovative solutions.
We have a number of key collaborations in place with like minded professionals.
Procurement Support
Our procurement support and services cover the end-to-end requirements around planning, scoping, sourcing, contract award and management, contractor management and commercial contract management. We also work with procurement leaders and team, using our procurement health check benchmark toolset to determine current performance and organisational alignment in order to determine the roadmap for future performance and achieving organisational outcomes. Our focus is on removing unnecessary red tap, barriers and existing constraints, whilst ensuring compliance and due diligence measures are in place and effective. We also have extensive experience and understanding of sustainable and social procurement initiatives, such as Indigenous procurement and small business initiatives.
Tendering Support
Given our experience working on both the buy and supply areas of business, we work with clients who:
- require support with their tenders and go-to-market process, including evaluations, contract award recommendations, contract development and contractor onboarding and management;
- preparing tendering responses for clients competing for business through tenders and grants.
In addition, we run tendering workshops focused on improving small business understanding and opportunity. The clients that we work with, typically include tendering/grants as part of their business plan and strategic growth process.

What Our Clients Say
Celia Jordaan is one of those once in a lifetime connections you make. She has an uncanny ability to connect with others and a deep sense of intuition that I see as one of her greatest strengths, alongside being practical, insightful and wonderfully professional.
Celia Jordaan provided excellent support and guidance during a tender that I prepared. I found Celia to be very knowledgable and informative, which helped me developing some new skills and building my business.
Celia has great integrity and as a freelance consultant she impressed me with her practical and friendly approach.Great experience and knowledge in procurement that includes process improvement, negotiations, tendering and best business practice.
Celia has always demonstrated a high level of trust and integrity in all our dealings. This has led to building a strong supplier/ customer relationship that has enabled open and honest communication to provide a very positive win/win for both our organisations.
Celia is fun to work with. She’s got a serious side but she enjoys what she does and her enthusiasm is infectious. She can size up a situation quickly and accurately, and her commercial training shows through in her ability to ask the right sort of questions to get to the bottom of an issue. I’d happily work with her again.
As a procurement consultant, Celia is an expert in her field. She is knowledgeable, professional and approachable. Thank you Celia for helping us and our clients through the Tendering Process!
