Benchmarking Procurement

Given the significant cost-base procurement manages, in these margin pressurised times, it is no surprise that the role of procurement is of massive importance. According to recent studies, procurement spend typically represents 30-60 percent of an organization’s revenues. Perhaps more concerning, or enlightening, depending on your viewpoint, benchmarking studies carried out by Copernicus have uncovered variances of up to 850% from best practice to short term or impulse buying.
