The Public Procurement Profiler tools are designed to help agencies around the world to understand and increase the strategic effectiveness of their purchasing functions.

These tools have been developed thorough academic and practitioner research specific to the operations of public sector agencies; research which has been conducted over an extensive period of many years.

Public Procurement Profiler – Essentials

Your free online evaluation to identify whether your agency has the essentials in place to operate an effective procurement function, and to provide the basis for an action plan for improvement.

The Essentials tool is designed to establish whether your agency takes a structured or unstructured approach to procurement and to help you understand the consequences of any Essentials gaps; the more structured the approach, the better the procurement decisions and the better the outcomes. It takes the form of a series of 20 statements, each requiring you to enter a true or false answer. This takes around 15 minutes to do online and at the end you will instantly receive a full report which you can use to develop an action plan for improvement.

The Evaluation

The evaluation gives you an instant indicator to the following questions:

How structured is your agency's procurement planning process?
Have you developed clear procurement processes for your agency?
Do you have a clear leadership structure for your agency's procurement function?
Do you monitor and control your procurement function?
Are you protecting your agency from risk?

You will have a checklist of the 20 essential things your agency should be doing to spend taxpayers' money wisely, to inform the development of your procurement people, processes and policies. The evaluation can also help you identify needs in areas such as risk management and improving with perception of procurement in your agency.
