The PCMF - Standard Procurement & Contract Management Framework

The Procurement & Contract Management Framework Standard for Local Government (PCMF)

With our vast Local Government experience ArcBlue has unmatched insights into the opportunities and challenges of procurement and contract management for the sector.

We have worked with a core group of councils to put together a Standard Framework that is best practice, fit for purpose, affordable and quick to implement.

BEST PRACTICE ACROSS FIVE KEY DIMENSIONS

The PCMF incorporates best practice across the five interrelated dimensions that have been designed around the evolving needs of Australian Local Government – digitally enabled by our online hub!

HOW THE PCMF WORKS

We have defined the best approach to address to the common goals of simple, standard and consistent procurement practice that is compliant and delivers value. A standard framework and guidance allows procurement to be strategic.

Access, implementation and training of the PCMF will be provided. You will access a carefully curated framework, template suite and guidance that remains up to date with legislation and leading practices. We will continually provide inductions and refresher training as part of the subscription with opportunities for more advanced training in all strategic procurement and contract best practice.

The PCMF is designed as standard best practice to be deployed in full, however deployment options can be tailored to councils needs as a bespoke solution if needed. It is important to understand the connectivity of all parts of the framework and the impacts of making these changes.

We can assist to deploy the entire framework and documents in conjunction with Portt, VendorPanel or other council systems. Talk to us about options.
