The Procurement Journey
Start your procurement journeyThe procurement journey is based on 4 broad stages – Plan, Define, Procure and Manage – which collectively make up the commercial lifecycle. Each stage progressively builds on recommended steps from the previous stage, so although you can look at any stage individually, it’s advised to start from the initial ‘Plan’ stage. This is because the pre-procurement stages are vital for setting off with the right foundations in place.
There are 4 sections:
Plan
Having clear and transparent commercial pipelines and a good understanding of the market to plan for the procurement process
Define
Achieving flexible, efficient procurement processes that encourage broad participation and are open and accessible to all
Procure
Evaluating bidder compliance with exclusion grounds and selecting suitable suppliers for the contract
Manage
Working with suppliers and managing the contract to ensure successful achievement of contractual outcomes
We’ve brought together a range of resources to support you at each stage of your procurement journey.
