Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

PSPPCM020 - Plan for strategic procurement

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Conduct procurement business analysis

  1. Analyse organisation’s corporate procurement plan, procurement-related expenditure, associated levels of risk and supply markets.
  2. Prepare a procurement profile that identifies past and projected procurement expenditure and associated levels of risk.
  3. Undertake supply positioning and categorise goods and services by their relative expenditure and difficulty of securing supply to assist in the development of procurement objectives.
  4. Use supplier preferences to identify how suppliers view the organisation as a client.
  5. Identify and document other factors likely to affect strategic procurement according to organisational requirements.
  6. Practice due diligence to investigate existing relationships with suppliers, notably coordinated procurement contracts (CPCs) or coordinated procurement opportunities.
