This document provides an overview of a procurement transformation program. It discusses implementing a new procurement operating model, including establishing category review boards for governance. A case study is presented on transforming freight procurement in the US, which centralized freight spending, implemented e-tendering to increase competition, and standardized pricing methodology, resulting in significant cost savings. Key learnings from the program emphasized the importance of executive sponsorship, stakeholder involvement, clear governance structures, and using strategic sourcing best practices.

15.  In 2014/15 they had a significant spend with a very decentralised supply base across
64 locations supported by logistics coordinators with significant purchase order
volume
 There were no formal contract arrangements – PSL’s/Frameworks/Engagement
arrangements
 Mainly spot buying on the day to support sales and operations
 The criteria when choosing a broker or carrier was not defined i.e. relationship, price,
service performance and the cost plus pricing model did not drive an aggressive
freight negotiation process
 There was no standard process for freight quotations inside the business i.e. some
may allocate work to certain suppliers while others may carry out quotations with
multiple vendors
 Pricing benchmark did not exist
