Procurement & Cost Advisory
Procurement is where an asset's life-cycle cost is set. A specification or pricing error made at this stage becomes a cost the hotel carries for its whole life. AREEN turns scopes and specifications into a defensible commercial decision that weighs function, operating readiness and life-cycle cost, not just the lowest supplier quote. We work only for the owner, take no supplier commissions, and the owner keeps full control of scope, price and the final decision. No tender award or future supplier price is guaranteed.

Reviewing scope, specifications and mandatory requirements before pricing starts.
2. Costable Item Breakdown

3. Like-for-Like Quote Normalisation

4. Life-Cycle Cost Testing

5. Value Engineering

6. Specialist Hospitality Packages
