Abstract:

The key aim of procurement transformation agenda is to develop a responsive practice. This paradigm shift is reflected in the increasing emphasis on key transformational drivers. There are many drivers that could guide this process. Our discussion on the transformation drivers was motivated by an MBA discussion seminar held between the period ranging from January to April 2021. The key drivers identified were policy based procurement, operation strategy supported procurement, intelligence procurement, tax inclined supply chains, urban mining strategies, service sector procurement, risk management, indirect expenditure and procurement planned procurement. The endeavor demands that the processes be agile, transparent, and that the skills of the practioneers be tailored appropriately to create sensitive agents to transformation and generate value for money.
