A leading procurement consultancy operating across Australia and New Zealand, founded by two of the most experienced people in the industry — committed to delivering real, lasting change.
bluenorth is an independent procurement advisory firm, founded on a simple belief: the best procurement advice comes from depth of experience, built over decades spent leading procurement functions, running category strategies and delivering transformations.
Chris and Dan previously co-founded ArcBlue and built it into one of Australia's leading procurement consultancies before its sale in 2022. They have since come together again with a clear vision: to create a boutique, independently owned firm that combines deep procurement expertise with a genuine commitment to social and sustainable outcomes.
bluenorth serves organisations across the public and private sectors, helping them build smarter, more purposeful procurement functions. Our name reflects our guiding principle of always pointing towards better outcomes, for our clients and for the communities they serve.
We combine hands-on consulting with our proprietary technology platform, giving clients both the strategic guidance and the tools to make change stick.
Chris and Dan have worked together for more than fifteen years, leading procurement functions and transformations across the public and private sectors. One of them is involved in every bluenorth engagement from start to finish.
Co-founded ArcBlue alongside Dan and built it into one of Asia Pacific's leading procurement consultancies before its sale in 2022. Chris leads our social and sustainable procurement work and our public sector practice.
