3 Setting the Scene Globally approximately 40% - 60% of national public sector revenue is spent on public procurement i.e. the acquisition of goods, works & services There is no requirement for public procurement professionals to be professionally qualified! In many countries procurement is seen as an administrative / back office function with no strategic value There is a lack of understanding of procurement s role in achieving political, economic or social objectives Lack of awareness of public procurement at senior levels in government Procurement usually falls under public financial management or administration Accountants, lawyers are required to have professional qualifications why not procurement

4 THE BUSINESS CASE FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT For the organisation For the individual Improves professionalism: o Greater consistency of approach o More stakeholder support Improves career prospects: o Feeds promotions & status o Triggers rewards Better outcomes: o Less cost o Less risk Grows productivity: o More output for less input o Fewer mistakes & less rework Provides competitive advantage: o Offers better quality o Manages change better Raises staff morale: o Greater staff retention o Easier to attract & recruit staff Improves consistency: o An instrument of wider policy o Manages complexity better Develops corporate capability: o Captures corporate memory o Develops capability Increases performance: o Better results for all o More productivity & easier work Builds confidence: o Grows self-esteem & fulfillment o Drives empowerment Introduces professional community: o Builds support network o Helps you learn fast from others Increases own attractiveness: o Creates options in other markets o Adds portability to new subjects Enhances status: o Grows recognition o Builds credibility & reputation Develops skill base: o Builds competencies o Develops capability

5 What s Involved in Professional Development? A structured professional development pathway is required A training needs analysis (TNA) to identify current knowledge, capability and competences Develop short training courses (such as those being delivered & developed by Basil Fuleihan IoF) National procurement qualifications such as a certificate in procurement compliance International Qualifications such as CIPS ladder which covers operational, managerial and strategic procurement eventually leading to international Masters level

6 Environmental Conditions for Development of Procurement Professionals Awareness at the highest levels of government of the strategic contribution & role of public procurement Awareness of what happens when procurement goes wrong poor practice, unethical practice, poor processes High level champion to lead the development Recognition of public procurement as a profession Regulatory framework clearly setting out the role of public procurement & how it should be conducted Input from professionals on the regulatory framework to ensure it can be delivered Competency framework identifying all roles in procurement, development of job families, job descriptions with competence profiles for each role linked to qualification requirements for each level This provides a career pathway for procurement This in turn leads to civil servants choosing to go into public procurement rather than just being put into the function it becomes a career of choice

7 Environmental Conditions for Development of Procurement Professionals (2) Involvement of procurement professionals at the outset of a business or budget not either when it goes wrong or simply to manage the contract Procurement to have visibility all the way through the supply chain to enable the management of risk (supplier, resources, goods etc) end to end delivery/management This requires engagement with all stakeholders such as other Ministries, departments, end users Working with anti-corruption commissions and audit functions to ensure procurement is meeting all their requirements

8 Challenges & Opportunities in MENA Region Challenges Opportunities Some political instability has caused some disruption in the region Rebuilding countries require solid infrastructure development This has caused problems in procurement & supply chain management availability of goods & services, lack of finance, disruption to infrastructure High levels of public debt need to provide services to citizens but in most cost effective way Barriers to change wanting to maintain the status quo (issues of ethics) For professional procurement to provide solutions as part of a reformation package To develop not just physical but administrative mechanisms to enable trade with other countries For people who understand how procurement can contribute to economic development develop local supply markets, support gender equality To convince the donor community to release funds for development projects Regional harmonisation to reduce barriers to change and trade

9 Challenges & Opportunities in MENA Region High demand for procurement professionals in UAE we have seen a race for the procurement talent offering increased remuneration to attract the best Libya need qualified practitioners to support the rebuilding of the country Lack of financial resources need to get more for your money Scarce professional resource All of the above represent numerous challenges but therein lies the great opportunity for the profession Potential for procurement professionals to demonstrate their value through effective procurement solutions Wide recognition globally that procurement holds the key to more effective government through the provision of services to the citizens and as a route to economic growth and recovery For example in the UK the Coalition government stated that procurement would be the profession to get UK out of its debt crisis more for less

10 Conclusion We live in a volatile and ever changing world The requirements & demands of the public don t really change but they are more aware The public are demanding to see better use of taxes & other government revenues Great opportunity to meet those demands through highly effective & professional public procurement
