The right way to transform procurement
Source: Stephen Allott
After four-plus years as Crown Rep SME in the Cabinet Office I have learnt that when buying ‘tools’, aggregation is a mistake. Amazingly.
It's more important to buy the ‘right new stuff’.
Taking procurement practices from fixed spec production parts procurement in the German car industry and blindly applying it to tools is a mistake.
Getting full value from SME suppliers by right sizing and using the G Cloud are how we are transforming central government.
Not aggregation.
