WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 23rd FEBRUARY 2010
Question
What are the annual staff costs of the Corporate Procurement Unit? What net savings are anticipated for each of the years 2010-2013?
Answer
- The total annual staff costs for the Corporate Procurement unit are £464,400
- The Corporate Procurement unit was given a target of £1.9 million savings to be achieved by the end of the 2009. This target has been achieved. The emphasis going forward is upon assisting Departments in delivering the procurement strategy that is designed to give clear direction to all departments involved in procurement and providing the framework in which they can deliver their own savings targets through procurement initiatives.
The main areas of work are focused upon:-
• Developing an efficient procure to pay process across all States Departments.
• Training employees involved in procurement activity to ensure that there is a standard approach to purchasing goods, services and works.
• Assisting departments in planning and organising their procurement activities in order to manage demand, maximise and leverage spend and deliver their savings targets.
Corporate Procurement will also lead on procurement initiatives arising from the Comprehensive Spending Review programme during 2010 - 2013. Procurement throughout the States is an area where significant savings can be achieved and as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review process specific projects and associated savings will all be aimed at delivering better services to the public.
