Route 3 is designed for use by procurement officers. If this does not apply to you please contact your procurement department or centre of expertise.
This Route of the Procurement Journey provides guidance for high value/high risk/strategic procurements as determined by the decision matrix.
The main objectives of the toolkit are:
In any procurement process, the key roles of budget holder and procurement officer should not be performed by the same individual.
Consideration must be given to Planning and Risk Management throughout the Journey and records should be kept for audit purposes. It should be noted that purchases of goods and services are routinely the subject of Freedom of Information requests.
Please be aware that where the term 'commodity' is used, this can equally refer to services.
Now you are ready to begin your Route 3 Procurement Journey. Please ensure the guidance is used in conjunction with the internal governance, policies and procedures for your organisation.
