Dip in Procurement and Contracting Local Government – Procurement Stream – Activity 9 – Strategic Procurement – LGP

Identify a range of procurements within your organisation and determine if you believe that they should be classified as strategic procurements. Please outline the rational for your conclusions. What factors would make a procurement strategic, in your opinion?

Does your organisation have sufficient buy in at the senior management level to support strategic procurement?

Consider such things as:

• Governance
• Organisational structures
• Resources
• Staff (including skills)
• Planning
• Budgets

Please support your views.

Note: this is not an exclusive list but a guide. Feel free to introduce your own key areas of consideration.
