Predicting procurement’s path

Predicting procurement’s path

In January, Government Procurement conducted a survey with its partner, NIGP: The Institute for Public Procurement to discover the procurement trends that are reshaping agencies, to gauge changes in perception of the profession and to predict the key factors that will define the future procurement paradigm. Findings suggest the profession is evolving, with practitioners making strides to communicate purpose and standardize best practices to ensure positive growth in the profession.

    It’s no surprise that
    It’s no surprise that declining budgets are pain points for so many. Particularly in recent times, public procurement officials have been faced with trying to keep up with technological innovations with fewer funds. One way to achieve better business practices and more collaboration across departments is to combine purchases within your organization whenever possible. For example, one area in which combined purchasing can create significant cost savings is equipment maintenance. Equipment Maintenance Management Programs (EMMP) that combine maintenance for a wide variety of equipment under one program offer significant savings over Original Equipment Manufacturer or Independent Service Organization service contracts. By covering a wide variety of equipment and consolidating contract administration, EMMPs are able to provide a discount off of existing maintenance contracts, as well as administrative efficiencies while maintaining the current level of service. Since they are applicable to a wide range of equipment types, they are also often available through cooperative purchasing organizations and/or offer cooperative purchasing through other public entities.
