Challenge
The organisation faced several foundational challenges within its procurement function, including the absence of structured frameworks and consistent processes. Outdated and disconnected procurement systems further limited operational efficiency. Additionally, there was no defined skills framework or structured development plan in place, resulting in capability gaps across the team.

Stakeholder consultations were conducted alongside a review of existing policies, procedures, SLAs, and systems.
02
A full diagnostic across procurement strategy, organization, and operations informed the transformation roadmap.
03
Capability assessments were carried out at the individual and team level, supported by workshops, training, and coaching.
04
The procurement technology landscape, including e-sourcing and P2P, was evaluated and improvement opportunities identified including e-sourcing implementation.
05
Deliverables included a strategy document, updated organizational structure, job descriptions, a full competence framework and assessment report, system and MI capability review, and mapped processes with supporting templates and training for strategic sourcing, supplier relationship management, and category management.

01
Procurement operations became more structured, with improved governance and clearly defined roles.
02
Processes were streamlined across sourcing, supplier management, and reporting.
