Efficiency Gains from Collaborative Roads Procurement
Delivering efficiency and best value is central
Summary
The CAT has been developed by the Agency's Supply Chain Management Team to:
- improve the consistency, transparency and robustness of the selection of tenderers
- facilitate a programme of supplier development aimed at improving the effectiveness of our suppliers
It is based on well-established principles that underpin a number of business excellence models and incorporates observations gained from an industry-wide consultation and feedback from across the Agency's procurement practices.
The capability assessment process has two distinct stages:
- supplier self-score and next steps exercises
- validation of the above by client CAT practitioners
When undertaking the self-score and next steps exercises you must take a realistic view when considering levels of capability and the actions to develop your capability. To attain a score, you will need evidence to demonstrate that the whole of the company operates consistently at that level and at every level below it.
During the validation exercise you should be open to suggestions for improvement and to use the feedback generated from the review session to help generate a meaningful and deliverable capability development plan.
Please take the capability assessment process seriously. It forms a key part of the improved procurement process that will help us to deliver best value solutions and services.
