Description
Landscape assessment involves identifying spending areas where there are opportunities to reduce costs or improve processes. This is usually done by the Accounting Officer (AO), Head of Department (HoD), Chief Finance Officer (CFO), Chief Procurement Officer (CPO), or at the budget holder level.
Critical to this stage is to prioritise spending areas so that they align with the institution’s service delivery objectives. Prioritisation can also be based on the relative importance of purchase categories, the complexity of the supply market, and the extent to which spending areas are common across the organisation.
