Councils can differ greatly in their procurement maturity. Some councils may be starting out on a journey to improve their procurement function, whilst others may have been on the journey for numerous years, having reached a greater level of procurement maturity and performance and still others are in 'transformation'.

Regardless of a local government's procurement function maturity, there are six key building blocks to bolster procurement capability within a council and enable procurement value.

Primarily, from the 'top down', the right procurement strategy, associated plans and performance measurement methods need to be built to drive the procurement function.

The second row of blocks enables a direct link to the wider organisation through a procurement governance framework and the management of the organisational interface, particularly with internal customers, executives and suppliers. All upon a foundational layer of people, processes, and technology, built upon the council’s core values and guiding principles.

If a council structures its procurement improvement efforts around these six blocks, it can develop and execute a simple and practical design to improve procurement capability and enable procurement value within the organisation.

Please note, these masterclasses are only available to council officers, and state and federal government employees. Masterclasses are free to attend.
