Purchasing Solutions

What Purchasing Solutions does

Purchasing Solutions is a professional procurement consultancy firm, not a technology company, offering advisory services to both private and public sector organisations. Its single core offering — Purchasing Consultancy — spans procurement strategy development, department setup and re-organisation, purchasing audits, spend analysis, tendering and negotiation, contract drafting and management, supplier development and performance monitoring, and staff training. The firm differentiates through deep institutional knowledge of European and National Procurement Directives/Guidelines and over thirty years of Board and Senior Management level experience in the purchasing function.

The business operates with no proprietary technology platform; service delivery is entirely human-led, executed through direct consulting engagements. The principal consultant, Gavan McGirr, is the primary commercial contact, and the go-to-market model is sales-led, relying on personal outreach, relationship-based selling, and referrals within the Irish market. Distribution is direct: clients engage the firm via phone (+353-86-2420750) or email, with services delivered on-site or at client premises.

The revenue model is professional services fees from project-based consulting engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is likely quoted per engagement. The firm serves two horizontal segments — public sector organisations needing compliance with procurement regulations and private sector companies seeking cost reduction and best-practice procurement — with no disclosed named customers, no disclosed revenue split, and no documented funding or investment activity. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, and operating geography is single-country (Ireland, based on the .ie domain and +353 phone code), though firmographics also lists a Philadelphia address, indicating a possible US-Ireland presence that is not clarified in available sources.
