Plan and implement strategic sourcing
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
The unit applies to those engaged in specialist procurement and contracting roles and is equally applicable to those in broader logistics roles.
This unit covers planning and implementation of strategic sourcing for goods or services essential or critical to an organisation’s ability to conduct its core business.
Failure of supply or disrupted supply of these goods and services will have an adverse impact on the organisation’s ability to deliver its core business outcomes.
In practice planning for strategic procurement will be integrated with the organisation’s strategic, corporate and budget planning processes. Implementation of the strategic sourcing process will also be specifically impacted by procurement plans, legislation, regulation, policy and procedures. Broader government policy and government to government agreements may also impact.
Analysis of relevant markets and identification and incorporation of market information into the planning processes are essential elements of this function.
Consideration and incorporation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principles, sustainability and environmental issues is also essential.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit.
