Procurement Review & Capability Assessment
This Australian University went through a university-wide review including financial performance, efficiency, resourcing, and categories of spend range to ensure they were ‘future ready’.
ArcBlue was engaged to develop a strategic sourcing and procurement improvement programme to support the ‘Future Ready’ programme.
