$20.00

What is the ideal organizational structure for procurement? The procurement organization must achieve a range of outcomes such as:

be responsive to program delivery;
obtain goods and services on time;
ensure fairness, openness and transparency;
ensure conformity to procurement rules and policies;
minimize the lifecycle costs of assets;
meet green procurement objectives;
maintain public confidence in government procurement.

The ideal organization design will depend on the context of each organization and its strategic priorities.

Procurement organization design models

Examples of types of organizational structures for the procurement function include:

Decentralized delivery model. Each sector/branch/region manages and delivers its own procurement activities. The corporate procurement organization establishes overall strategic directions and procurement policies and standards, and provides functional direction.
Mixed model. The corporate procurement organization establishes enterprise-wide strategy and provides procurement support to some sectors/branches/regions; larger sectors/branches/regions deliver their own procurement activities.
Centralized distributed model. The corporate procurement organization delivers all procurement activities on behalf of sectors/branches/regions; procurement advisors reporting to corporate procurement are dedicated to branches/ sectors/ regions.
Centralized delivery model. The corporate procurement organization delivers all procurement activities on behalf of the whole organization.
