Procurement is a bottom-line decision.
Stop treating it as a side task.
Procura West is your fractional procurement department for oil & gas and construction companies across Western Canada. We handle contract formation and negotiations, RFX management, vendor sourcing and pre-qualification, invoice review, spend analysis, change order administration, compliance tracking, and contract close-out — so your team doesn't have to.
The most expensive problem you're not solving.
Your ops manager reviews contracts between site visits. Your PM runs RFQs off the side of their desk. This is hitting your bottom line whether you see it or not.
Cost leakage is invisible
Industry benchmarks show 3–5% of construction spend is lost to invoice fraud, duplicate payments, and unauthorized purchasing. On a $50M project, that's $1.5M–$2.5M walking out the door.
Your people are stretched too thin
Procurement is its own discipline — with its own skill set, tools, and pitfalls. Asking your PM to do it is like asking them to run your books. They can try. You won't like the results.
A full-time hire doesn't pencil
A procurement specialist in Alberta runs $150–230K fully loaded. For most companies, that's hard to justify — especially when project loads fluctuate. You need the expertise without the overhead.
You wouldn't ask your PM to run your books. So why ask them to negotiate a $500K contract?
— The thesis, in one line
Numbers don't lie.
Cost savings on addressable spend
Companies with dedicated procurement save 6–12% compared to those managing it off the side of someone's desk.

When nobody's watching that spend, small inefficiencies add up to six- and seven-figure problems fast.

The rest are running on autopilot — paying whatever gets invoiced without a second look.

Procurement is what I do — across Western Canada's oil & gas and construction industries. I've managed contracts, run RFXs, built vendor evaluation programs, and tracked compliance for companies that build real things in tough environments.
I started Procura West because too many mid-size companies are either overpaying for procurement help or going without it entirely. You deserve a procurement partner who knows your industry, speaks your language, and shows up ready to work — not a generalist who bills you to learn on the job.
Based in Calgary. Working across Western Canada.
Call us. We'll sort it out.
Whether you're a CEO looking at the big picture, a CFO watching the numbers, or a VP running operations — if procurement isn't getting the attention it deserves, we should talk. Start with a Procurement Gap Analysis — a focused review of your contracts, vendors, compliance, and spend. You'll get specific findings, dollar estimates, and a clear picture of where the gaps are.
