I AM

Bob Goosen.

IT PROCUREMENT & VENDOR MANAGER

Who I am

I’m Bob Goosen, founder of Digital Sourcing B.V., where I help organisations improve the way they procure and manage digital technology and IT services. My work ranges from sourcing individual products or services to outsourcing entire business processes or capabilities.

​

With over 18 years of experience as a sourcing consultant — and in various procurement and vendor management roles — I work as an independent advisor for both public and private sector clients.

​

What I do

I help organisations design and implement a digital sourcing strategy: deciding which IT capabilities to retain internally, which to outsource, and how to maintain control and governance across the supplier ecosystem.

​

I lead procurement and supplier selection processes, both nationally and across Europe, and I support my clients in managing contracts and suppliers through the structured implementation of contract and vendor management frameworks such as CATS CM®.

​

Results

Through this integrated approach, I ensure that the use of digital technology and IT suppliers directly contributes to achieving each organisation’s strategic business objectives.

​

My mission is to help organisations professionalise their digital sourcing and vendor management, delivering independence, transparency and measurable results.

The Power of Digital Sourcing

Digital Sourcing was founded on the belief that IT sourcing can be simpler, smarter, and more valuable. We combine strategic insight, hands-on experience with (European) procurement and governance, and deep knowledge of modern IT environments.


Our approach is independent, pragmatic, and results-oriented.
