Procurement Strategy

7. Procurement project management

7.1 Procurement exercises are, to all intents and purposes bespoke projects. Poor skills in project management can therefore only hinder good practice procurement.

7.2 We are committed to improving Project Management skills across the organisation and have made very positive improvements in the management of the Capital Programme through the establishment of the Capital Programme Office and the appraisal system for projects.

Procurement will take forward this excellent progress and develop a system for project management of procurement exercises, using and adapting the 'Gateway Review' system and ensuring that the larger projects are properly managed and resourced.
