TRANSFORMING PROCUREMENT

Page 2: Change Management: Transforming Procurement

QUESTION

The Government needs to build more housing. One

way is for housing associations to cut their

costs, thus enabling more houses to be built from the

existing cash. The Government has therefore

legislated to require housing associations to reduce

their total cost of ownership by 18% in 5 years,

without compromising quality, safety and energy

efficiency. TOTO includes construction and any other

costs that housing associations have to pay. How

will Procurement ensure that this reduction is

achieved?©C M Cram FCIPS

Page 3: Change Management: Transforming Procurement

1. What actions would be needed to achieve the 18% reduction?

2. What procurement techniques would be required to deliver those actions?

3. What expertise would be needed?

4. What resources would be needed?

5. What is the gap between what exists now and what would be needed?

6. How might one bridge that gap?

7. Would collaboration help bridge that gap? If so, what should be the model?

Please also bear in mind the relationships, internal and

external, required to deliver the reduction.©C M Cram FCIPS

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

Page 4: Change Management: Transforming Procurement

WHAT ACTIONS WOULD BE NEEDED TO HELP ACHIEVE THE 18% REDUCTION?

Page 5: Change Management: Transforming Procurement

MANY ORGANISATIONS CREATE UNNECESSARY COSTS - For themselves and Suppliers?

• Indiscipline

• Different Procedures/Contract Ts and Cs

• Complexity – e.g. Tender Procedures

• Inappropriate Allocation of Risk

• Multiplicity of Tenders

• Multiplicity of ‘Duplicate’ Contracts and Contract Managers

• Framework Agreements: Paying Suppliers to Sell to Oneself

• Varied Specifications/Reinventing the Wheel

• Very Varied Capability

• Inconsistency of Expertise, Processes and Procedures

Different Specifications for the Same Product:• Tarmac• IT • Finance Systems• Outsourcings• Street Lighting• Construction• Waste Collection and Disposal• Commodities Goods and Services

Over-Elaborate Specifications

Who has the Best Specifications?

ORGANISATIONS CREATE UNNECESSARY COSTS – for Themselves and Suppliers

Page 7: Change Management: Transforming Procurement

BE AWARE OF COSTS TO SUPPLIERSe.g. What is the Cost to Suppliers of Tendering?

• What is the Cost?

• What is the Cost of Duplicate Tenders?

• What is the Cost of Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs)?

• What is the Cost of Tendering when one has little choice of Winning?

• What is the Cost of a Good Tendering Team?

PROCESSES CAN CREATE COST FOR EVERYONE

TENDERING COSTS DISCRIMINATE AGAINST SMEs

HOW ELSE TO TAKE OUT COST? TACKLE THE SUPPLY CHAIN

Page 10: Change Management: Transforming Procurement

METAL FURNITURE

• Steel is 60% of Cost of Manufacture – 60 units of cost• Assume 20% Profit• Selling Price Equals 120 units of cost• Then Cost of Steel equals 50% of Selling Price• Reduce Cost of Steel by 20% (to 48 units of cost)• Then Cost of Manufacture Drops by 12% to 88% of Former

Cost• Add 20% Profit Margin (17.6% of former manufacturing

cost)• New Price: 105.6 Units

PRICE SAVING: 12%

Page 11: Change Management: Transforming Procurement

HOW CAN ONE SAVE MONEY THROUGH PROCUREMENT?

Eliminate those Factors that Create Cost• Increase Leverage – Get Suppliers’ Attention• Better Quality/Appropriate/Consistent Contracts• Make Tendering Easier/Simpler• Expertise Available to All• Commodity Market Knowledge Available to All• Better/More Consistent Policy Implementation• Consistent Specifications

Use More Advanced Purchasing Techniques- Relationship Management- Supply Chain Management- Value Analysis- Market Management- Sophisticated Negotiation- Innovation

WHY ARE STOCKHOLDINGS ALWAYS GREATER THAN THE STATED POLICY?

Page 21: Change Management: Transforming Procurement

• Decide Outcome required and How its Achievement can be Measured

• Examine end to end Process. How far does it deliver the desired outcome?

• Examine and Map individual Processes

• Evaluate how essential each Process is to achieving the desired Outcome

• How much time does each Process take. What is its added Value?

• Re-design individual and End to End Process to Deliver Required Outcomes

• Introduce any Technology with Caution. No Point in Automating the Wrong Thing
