STRATEGIC PROCUREMENT

Presenter: |

ESTELLE SETAN

Introduction

1. In the recent past government procurement has been in the public spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

2. The latest Auditor-General report suggested that unauthorised, irregular and fruitless and wasteful expenditure amounted to more than R30 billion across national and provincial government.

3. In 2013, Min Pravin Gordhan announced the establishment of the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer in the National Treasury.

Purpose of the O-CPO

The purpose of the O-CPO is: 1. To modernise the state procurement system to be fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost-effective.

2. To enable the efficient, economic, effective and transparent utilisation of financial and other resources, including state assets, for improved service delivery.

3. To promote, support and enforce the transparent and effective management of state procurement and the sound stewardship of government assets and resources.

Structure of the O-CPO

Chief Procurement Officer Divisional Support SCM Client Support SCM Policy, Norms & Standards SCM Governance, Monitoring & Compliance SCM Information, Comm. & Technology Strategic Procurement Transversal Contracting

One of the six functions in O-CPO whose primary task is to research, develop and implement strategic sourcing practices so that cost savings and socio-economic objectives are achieved.

Current State – Public Procurement

• Multiple policy objectives • Poor supply chain performance (AG results) • Highly prescriptive and complex • Not achieving value for money • High cost of procurement • Misaligned organisational structures • Limited SCM capability • High rates of movement and staff vacancies • Pervasive corruption • Operational challenge NOT SCM

Strategic Sourcing in the OCPO

1. These challenges and the recognition of the limitations that current procurement presents, resulted in a need for a differentiated approach to procurement.

2. Pursuant to the establishment of the Office of the CPO, the National Treasury introduced various interventions such as the concept of Framework.

Strategic Sourcing as a tool to support the SCM

What is Strategic Sourcing?

1. It is the

systematic

process that directs supply chain managers to plan, manage, and develop the supply base in line with the government organisation’s strategic objectives.

2. It is, furthermore, a

process

of understanding categories of goods and services, their

intended use

and their

supply markets

based on rigorous

analysis

, in order to identify the

leverage points

and develop the appropriate sourcing strategy which

reduces the total cost

to government and / or increase the benefits / value of the service / commodity to government.

Strategic Procurement Process

Outcome:

- Establishment of the Strategic Relationship(s) - Environment set-up and change management - Continuous monitoring and improvement of the strategic relationship

Implementation & Roll-out NEEDS Outcome:

A decision regarding the continuation of the Strategic Procurement initiative for the identified category(ies)

Outcome:

A selection of the most appropriate strategy option for the strategic supplier relationship approach identified.

5. Who are OUR main suppliers?

• Which suppliers constitute the largest amount of spend and why?

• What defines a preferred supplier and why?

• What is our strategy?

• Is there opportunity for rationalization?

• Are we sole-sourced?

• Does the supply base in this category put government at risk?

• When do the current contracts expire?

Who Needs it?

Leadership and CxO’s

• Need up to date reports to drive

strategic

direction.

• Need to see the data in broader, aggregated groups

Managers, accountants, etc

• Need to drill down into the spend data set to explore specific areas of interest.

• Need greater detail to drive

commodity category

decisions

Sourcing power users

• Need to locate, drive and monitor the next set of savings initiatives.

• Need greater detail to drive

specific commodity

decisions

2. Marketplace Influence

1. Changing Technologies:

• What are the trends in the marketplace? • How does this affect the products and services that will be available to the government institution(s)?

2. Marketplace Environment:

• Is this a growing market? Is the market consolidating?

• What trends should we be aware of and are they affecting our preferred suppliers?

3. Government Business Objectives:

• What are the institution's objectives?

• What is in place to achieve these objectives?

• Is this category a “strategic commodity”?

4. Geographic locations:

• Government institution geographic locations vs suppliers geographic locations.

5. Financial considerations

• How financially viable are our suppliers? What are their operating margins and is there risk of supply?

• What are the pitfalls we should avoid?

• What should be considered when qualifying suppliers?

6. Major Trends

• What are the overarching trends in technology, supply base consolidation, globalization, etc.

Spend Area Overview 2. Marketplace Influence 3. Government Situation Overview

1. How many total suppliers in my spend area?

• Are there any notable trends in the size of the active supply base?

2. What is our compliance performance?

• Are all “business units” and regions using the agreements?

• How many contracts expire in the current year?

• What percentage of spend/budget is concentrated with the preferred suppliers?

3. What are the payment situation?

• Do we pay our suppliers on time?

• What are the concerns regarding payment?

4. What are the main performance metrics we use to measure supplier performance?

• How are these metrics captured and used to drive improved performance?

5. What are the supply chain issues – delivery, quality, cost, responsiveness?

• Have there been issues with delivery timelines which violated contract SLA’s?

• Is there any dissatisfaction related to customer support, required quality adherence, inflated cost or price adjustments?

Government Impact Analysis

GOVERNMENT IMPACT ANALYSIS • Does the total purchase cost for the sourcing group represent a major part of the organization's total external expenditures?

• Do end-users perceive that the sourcing group provides significant value?

• Does the sourcing group differentiate the end product in an important way?

Area of Impact

• Expense base impact • Customer value impact • Product differentiation impact • Does the sourcing group provide access to leading technology critical to the value your end-user perceives?

• Leading technology impact • Would a sourcing group failure or shortage affect your end-users satisfaction / service delivery?

• Failure impact

No Yes Low High Overall Business Impact of the Sourcing Group Overall Impact

Volume Concentration Product Specification Improvement Create an Advantage

 Conduct product value analysis and engineering  Substitute materials  Pursue system buying alternatives  Optimise life cycle costs   Compare “total” costs Model “should-costs”  Renegotiate prices  Unbundle pricing  Expand geographic supply base  Develop new suppliers  Identify supply/demand imbalances

Best Price Evaluation Strategic Procurement Joint Process Improvement

 Reengineer joint processes  Share productivity gains  Integrate logistics  Support supplier operations improvement

Supplier Base expansion Relationship Restructuring
