What you need to do

Take account of previous procurements. Do not view the procurement in isolation. Look at the outcomes of previous procurements, particularly for similar goods or services, and take account of their problems and successes in deciding the procurement strategy. Aim to build on success, not to repeat problems.

Points to consider

  • the Centre of Excellence Lessons learnt reports
  • Findings of post implementation reviews
  • NAO reports
  • Experience of other government departments (particularly useful in novel or complex procurements)
