Procurement benchmarking template 

The procurement benchmarking tool provides a work plan and template to help compare the delivery and practices of the procurement function with those of other jurisdictions/ organizations.

The benchmarking steps are:

  • Identify potential organizations to participate in the benchmarking
  • Prepare profiles of the benchmark organizations
  • Compare delivery models and practices by dimension/criteria
  • Summarize the results of the comparisons. 

Dimensions/criteria specific to procurement are provided to help compare with procurement delivery models and practices of other jurisdictions (see preview charts).  

Also included are examples of procurement common/best practices under each dimension as well as five level capability maturity descriptions to help situate your procurement practices relative to common/best practices found in the benchmark organizations.

After you acquire the tool, you will receive an email with a link to download the template (15 slides) in a PowerPoint fully editable format as well as the Benchmarking Guide (8 pages) in a Word format.
