Category 3: Innovation in procurement

This category focusses on innovation in the procurement function and processes to achieve benefits and enhanced outcomes (rather than the procurement of innovative goods or services (e.g., the procurement of an innovative ICT solution, trialling of a prototype product)).

To nominate in this category, you will need to provide detail:

• A procurement function, process, procedure (or similar) that either an individual or team have innovated to achieve benefits and other enhanced outcomes (the innovation may have either changed or altered something pre-existing, or introduced something new to address a problem).

For clarity, the benefits or other enhanced outcomes delivered by the innovation may achieved by, but is not limited to, the enhancement of value for money outcomes, along with improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement function or associated processes.
