Risk Description Current
Assessment Target Assessment Date Reviewed Note Owner
Failure to secure best value of
procurement spend and ensure
compliance with financial
regulations
Improved procurement management
process, contract strategies, planning,
monitoring and reporting in
collaboration with services will
continue to mitigate against non-
compliant procurement spend
23-May-2022
No change to risk assessment. There are
a number of actions and strategies in
place to ensure and monitor best value
of procurement spend and compliance.
Annabel
Travers
Failure to continue to achieve
increased savings from
procurement activity
As second or third generation revenue
contracts seldom deliver the same cost
savings as first generation, the
contract strategies need to focus on
governance, operating models, total
cost of ownership, service quality and
innovation
23-May-2022
No change to risk assessment.  There
are a number of actions underway to
increase savings from procurement
spend including performance indicators
to monitor progress.
