Among leading multinational firms, GEP is the only company to provide a full range of procurement services and software, focused exclusively on procurement. Global at our core, we integrated best-practice methodologies learned in complex engagement across Europe and the world, with powerful cloud-based software tools. From our hubs in London, Prague and Dublin, we provide major European firms with support in a range of European languages across all of our service lines.
