Task:
Procurement Evaluation Report
Adelaide Hills Council
You have been contracted to advise the Adelaide Hills Council based on your knowledge and expertise in strategic procurement (particularly public procurement). Upon a review of the structure of local government in Australia, you have identified the following interesting facts from the Australian Local Government Association website (https://alga.asn.au/facts-and-figures/):
There are 537 councils Australia-wide. Of these, around 60% to 70% are regional or rural councils.
Local government employs 187,600 people which is nearly 10% of the total public sector (as at June 2018).
The Task
“Your task is to advise the Adelaide Hills Council on how to consolidate its expenditure to achieve substantial and effective savings (e.g. bulk purchasing, council’s need for less staff perhaps, etc.) that could be redirected to other important community needs.”
A strategic plan
An opportunity for you to apply the concepts, models and/or theories learnt in this course (e.g. Procurement lifecycle model, Kraljic Procurement model, e-procurement, buyer-supplier relationships, network theory, SRM, BSR etc.) and their application to the procurement strategy as well as the expected benefit for the Council.
