Lead - Hospitality Sourcing and Procurement

Lead - Sourcing & Procurement

1. Hospitality Sourcing 

• Lead sourcing for all hotel-specific categories: 
  • OS&E 
  • FF&E 
  • Guest supplies, amenities, uniforms, BOH, IT, kitchen equipment, etc. 
• Work with brand technical/services teams to finalize specifications and ensure compliance with operator standards.

2. Coordination with Adani Group Techno-Commercial (TC) Team 

• Act as the single point of coordination between Hospitality and the TC team. 
• Ensure all requisitions, specifications, vendor lists, and BOQs for pre-opening items are channelled through the TC team as per Group procurement protocols. 
• Follow up on RFQs, bid evaluations, negotiations, PO issuance, and delivery schedules managed by the TC team. 
• Maintain adherence to Adani’s Delegation of Authorities (DoA), procurement guidelines, sustainability requirements, and compliance controls.

3. Pre-Opening Procurement Management 

• Develop detailed pre-opening OS&E and FF&E procurement plans for each hotel. 
• Map procurement timelines to the hotel’s project program (construction, handover, operator onboarding). 
• Ensure all purchase processes are initiated well in advance, preventing last-mile delays. 
• Track end-to-end procurement status — from specification to delivery to site installation.

4. Stakeholder Alignment Across AOCs 

• Coordinate closely with Asset Owning Companies (Realty, Airport City Side Development, NMDPL) to ensure alignment of specifications, delivery schedules, and project milestones. 
• Collaborate cross-functionally across design, projects, finance, sustainability, technical services, and operator pre-opening teams. 

5. Standardization & Efficiency Improvement 

• Develop standardized: 
• Equipment lists 
• Brand-approved vendor lists 
• Specification templates 
• Rate cards and framework agreements 
• Ensure consistency across all Adani hospitality assets to reduce cost, improve quality, and streamline operational efficiency. 

6. Responsible & Local Sourcing 

• Prioritize local sourcing from Indian manufacturers, regional partners, and MSMEs whenever feasible. 
• Promote responsible purchasing in line with Adani’s ESG and sustainability commitments: 
  • Energy-efficient equipment 
  • Recyclable materials 
  • Reduced carbon footprint 
  • Ethical vendor practices 
  • Evaluate suppliers for environmental and social compliance. 

7. Tracking, Reporting & Controls 

• Maintain procurement dashboards and MIS covering: 
• Status vs. timelines 
• Cost vs. budget 
• Vendor performance 
• TC team procurement progress 
• Highlight risks early (delays, technical gaps, price impacts) and drive mitigation. 
• Ensure full documentation and audit readiness for all procurement.
