About Shakeeb Madala

I am a CIPS-affiliated professional who recently completed a Master's in Supply Chain from the esteemed University of Salford in Manchester. Over the course of my career, I have garnered extensive experience across the private and public sectors. My expertise lies in the intricate domains of procurement, sourcing, tendering, and contract management. Throughout my journey, I have played a pivotal role in the pre-award and post-award processes, encompassing administration, coordination, prequalification, evaluation, negotiation, claims, variations, and more. Notably, I have contributed significantly to the successful handling of multi-million-dollar contracts involving prominent National Oil Companies (NOCs), International Oil Companies (IOCs), and Integrated Service Providers (ISPs). One of my key strengths is my ability to foster open and constructive communication channels with stakeholders, including suppliers, customers, and superiors. With an approachable attitude, I strive to facilitate collaborative relationships that drive mutual success. I take pride in providing sound advice and practical assistance to various end-user departments, aiding them in navigating complex tender and contract reviews, as well as formulating effective sourcing strategies. In my recent roles, I've had the privilege of supporting Senior Procurement and Category Managers in overseeing diverse procurement projects. From inception to execution, I've been actively involved in various stages, from reviewing requirement requests and prequalification to soliciting bids/quotes through RFQ/Tenders, negotiating contracts, and ultimately, awarding contracts or Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Additionally, I've been instrumental in post-award administration, ensuring seamless contract management and fulfillment. Driven by a passion for excellence and a commitment to continuous improvement, I am poised to contribute my skills and expertise to new challenges and opportunities in the ever-evolving landscape of procurement and supply chain management.
