Public Sector Governance

Managing tail-end spend is difficult if you’re struggling with lots of mini-frameworks and you want to trust colleagues to buy appropriate to risk. With so much unstructured procurement-related information available, it’s difficult to ensure sufficient oversight, manage risks and deliver compliance.

What Procurement Professionals Say

"We had 3 overarching problems. Firstly, we knew we were over-relying on a few suppliers. Secondly, we knew there was too much tail-end spend. Finally, procurement didn’t have the best reputation within the organisation, which made it difficult for us to reduce rogue procurement and make strides towards meeting cash savings targets.

Progora has helped with all 3 problems. We have full visibility of all our suppliers, and the system gives us price benchmark data so we are in a strong negotiating position. Suppliers like it because they get more visibility for their ranges and it’s easier to manage the relationship.

The centralised marketplace makes it easy for users to search for the product or service they need to buy and then find the most appropriate supplier. There’s less tail-end spend because it’s easy to stay on framework, and people have commented on how much easier it is to buy things – we’re definitely no longer seen as a ‘block’ in the way we used to be.

We have access to accurate and complete procurement data, so we can monitor compliance and prepare reports much more easily. We can also link spend to outcomes, so stakeholders have more accountability and the organisation is in a stronger position when it comes to budgeting."
