Is your Council at risk?
According to the latest research on procurement in Local Government, while most Councils have procurement policies, they have very limited transparency, governance and probity over purchasing BELOW the tender threshold.
A recent white paper produced on Local Government procurement spend demonstrated that;
- 80% of Local Government purchasing occurs BELOW the tender threshold
- 93% of Council RFQs (requests for quote) are managed via a manual email process
- 57% of Councils acknowledge it is 'difficult' or 'very difficult' to demonstrate governance and probity in procurement below tender threshold
- 50% said the manual purchasing process is the greatest issue in the way buyers obtain quotes
