In the summer of 2026, we got together as a team to carve out what our company purpose is. We came up with the following:
We set out to insure Proctimise value means fairness, transparency and sustainability: procurement based on strong relationships, ethics and having fun. This article defines what our Proctimise Purpose is and how it’s collaborative approach will benefit our business ecosystem and hopefully benefit those we work with and our marketing and procurement community.
Principled Procurement
Integrity
· Knowing the right thing, doing the right thing, and standing up for it – even when it costs us money or removes an opportunity.
· Buying what the client needs while making sure it helps the environment and treats people fairly.
· We won't work with oil, gas, gambling or tobacco companies.
Fairness
· Fair, transparent and respectful pitching (the Pitch Positive Pledge).
· Respect for agencies' time – clear and fair timelines.
· Transparent on the steps taken – everything clearly labelled, every question with a purpose.
· Honest communication and feedback to everyone (over-communicate).
Honesty
· We don't charge agencies to take part in tenders – no pay-to-play.
Clarity & Simplicity
· Cut through the noise – reduce complexity and bureaucracy wherever we can.
What We Mean by Value and Success
· Best value – equality, fairness, sustainability, transparency and compliance.
· Not procurement just to save money – procurement to improve our clients' ecosystems.
· Success measured in the health and longevity of relationships (Proctimise-clients, clients-agencies), not in savings.
· Building strong relationships with people, not just delivering the work.
· The relationship itself creates the value – not just the contract.
Bring the Fun!
We always look to have fun whiles we work - whether its sharing play lists in the office or looking for creative and engaging ways to work with our team, clients or our partners
Role Modelled from the Top
· Top down attitude that reinforces and encourages genuine teamwork and support.
