## Notice

Magna is seeking an experienced consultancy partner to undertake an independent review of the supply chain, stores and warehouse operations that support the organisation. Whilst the primary focus will be on the procurement, storage and distribution of materials supporting Response Repairs, the review should also consider opportunities to improve stock management, demand planning and inventory processes across all services that utilise stores and materials. The review is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of current demand, product flows, stock management practices, procurement arrangements and warehouse operations. It should assess how effectively materials are planned, purchased, stored, managed and distributed, while testing a number of existing hypotheses relating to inventory accuracy, purchasing practices, stock holding levels, material availability and operational efficiency. The review should also examine the quality and use of data, reporting and forecasting capabilities, together with the communication and collaboration between teams involved in planning, ordering, managing and consuming stock. The objective is to identify opportunities to improve visibility, decision-making, demand forecasting, process efficiency, working capital utilisation and organisational alignment. The outcome should be a fact-based assessment of the current operation, together with practical recommendations to improve efficiency, reduce waste, optimise stock holding, enhance service delivery and provide greater value for money. Magna would prefer to engage a consultancy partner with experience of reviewing Response Repairs, Asset Management and Housing Maintenance services within a social housing environment. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate expertise in analysing repairs supply chains, stores operations, inventory management, materials planning and demand forecasting, together with an understanding of the operational challenges and opportunities within the sector.
