FAST Approach to procurement readiness by Peñate Consulting

Our FAST™ Approach

Peñate Consulting’s Proven System for Procurement Readiness

At Peñate Consulting, procurement isn’t guesswork—it’s a process with purpose. Our proprietary FAST™ Approach empowers local governments, chambers, and businesses to win more contracts and build agile, sustainable procurement programs.

What is the FAST™ Approach?

FAST™ stands for Focused, Actionable, Sustainable, and Transparent—four powerful steps supported by our Opportunity Procurement Readiness Index (OPRI)™ assessment and our Procurement Optimization Process (POP)™ Strategy.

The FAST™ Approach—Step by Step

FOCUSED — Identify and Align

We begin by identifying your current procurement stage through the OPRI Survey and aligning your organizational goals with the right opportunities. This ensures that every strategy and action plan is targeted, relevant, and realistic.

ACTIONABLE — Build the Procurement Optimization Process (POP)™

Our team translates insights into a clear, step-by-step Procurement Optimization Plan (POP Strategy) tailored to your business operations, certification level, and growth potential. Each recommendation is designed to be immediately implementable.

SUSTAINABLE — Strengthen Systems for Long-Term Success

We build systems that last — policies, procedures, templates, and compliance tools that create a repeatable process for future bids. Sustainability means your organization can pursue opportunities confidently without starting from scratch.

TRANSPARENT — Monitor, Report, and Refine

Through performance tracking and progress dashboards, we keep the process clear, measurable, and accountable. Transparency empowers you to make informed decisions and maintain integrity across every stage of procurement readiness.
