The Procurement Journey

Start your procurement journey

The 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

View Plan

Define

Achieving flexible, efficient procurement processes that encourage broad participation and are open and accessible to all

View Define

Procure

Evaluating bidder compliance with exclusion grounds and selecting suitable suppliers for the contract

View Procure

Manage

Working with suppliers and managing the contract to ensure successful achievement of contractual outcomes

View Manage

We’ve brought together a range of resources to support you at each stage of your procurement journey.
