Why you should Measure? • Show value internally • Demonstrate value to elected officials • Provide transparency to the general public • Recognize achievement • Identify best practice
When and what should we report? Was Procurement involved?
Will it stand up to review?
What would have happened otherwise?
Why are we here? •Procurement teams make a significant contribution •Often receive inadequate recognition •Procurement is more than overhead •Raise the profile

Demonstration
Example Efficiency In January of 2010, the agency acquires a new building to use as a staff training and meeting facility. The fit out of the new facility requires 300 conference room style chairs. The price for a conference room chair is $100 per chair on their current contract. In February, the procurement team gets involved and puts out an IFB/RFP to purchase 300 conference room chairs for the new facility. The RFP ends, the supplier is chose, and the chairs are purchased in March 2010. The winning supplier’s price was $80 per chair.
Existing contract price: $100 X 300 = $30,000
New contract price $80 X 300 = $24,000 Savings: $6,000

What is a saving and is it cashable?
Best practice guidance documents are being developed, however it is best to discuss these conventions within your own organization. There are a number of training and support documents available for Measure with examples.
