PROCUREMENT INNOVATION MODEL

    • The legal framework-For public procurers to know the best available solutions, they need to be able to engage in a transparent, open dialogue with suppliers. There is natural risk-aversion from public procurers to do so out of fear of allegations of corruption.

    • The cost barrier and the business case-When conversations with public procurers turn to the costs of sustainability and innovation, there is a lot of resistance to considering an item, solution or process that appears costlier than the business-as-usual alternative. 

    • The public procurer skill set-The public procurers’ work need to be strengthened to fully utilize the potential of innovative, sustainable procurement: market engagement, the design and evaluation of performance-based tenders, and the monitoring of contracts on compliance with the promised performance.

    • Risks and regulations: the purchasing function can contribute by identifying innovative solutions to transform constraints linked to the control of risk and regulatory compliance into a competitive advantage for the business;

    • Operational excellence: the purchasing function can be a proactive source of creativity and collaboration with internal clients and suppliers to enhance existing processes and reduce costs through the identification and introduction of new materials, technologies and alternative solutions;

    • Differentiation: being involved in the company’s product and service roadmaps and tightening collaboration with internal clients and suppliers to become business partners.

    • Poor communication across functions

    • Low knowledge of markets and suppliers

    • Slow/ineffective decision making

    • Collaboration across the business
