Federal Delivery outlines a multistep sourcing and purchasing strategy to create value. The process begins with stakeholder input to develop a sourcing strategy and create a supplier portfolio. Next, potential suppliers are evaluated and selection criteria are established. The implementation process is then decided through competitive bidding, negotiation, or both. Finally, contracts are negotiated and implemented, performance is tracked, and savings are evaluated to improve the process. The goal is to organize a cross-functional global sourcing team and follow through on the strategic plan at each step.
