About

Magna is seeking a consultancy partner to undertake an independent review of its supply chain, stores and warehouse operations, with primary focus on the procurement, storage and distribution of materials supporting Response Repairs while also identifying opportunities to improve stock management, demand planning and inventory processes across all services that use stores. The review should provide a comprehensive, fact-based understanding of current demand, product flows, stock management practices, procurement arrangements and warehouse operations; assess how materials are planned, purchased, stored, managed and distributed; test hypotheses on inventory accuracy, purchasing practices, stock holding levels, material availability and operational efficiency; and examine data quality, reporting and forecasting capabilities plus communication and collaboration between teams to identify improvements in visibility, decision-making, demand forecasting, process efficiency, working capital utilisation and organisational alignment, delivering practical recommendations to improve efficiency, reduce waste, optimise stock holding and enhance service delivery and value for money. Magna prefers suppliers with experience reviewing Response Repairs, Asset Management and Housing Maintenance services in a social housing environment and expertise in analysing repairs supply chains, stores operations, inventory management, materials planning and demand forecasting.
