The strategic procurement outlook contains documents which set out the overarching objectives and goals of a purchasing entity. Although fairly general, the information contained within these documents should give you an insight into the direction the entity will be taking in the future. This may be of use when developing solutions which may meet their future needs.

The indicative annual procurement plans contain high-level information on purchases or areas of spending that may potentially be undertaken by purchasing entities in the year ahead. These are not legal or binding commitments of any sort and are merely intended to provide the market with a level of advanced notice and assist purchasing entities take a more strategic approach to their purchasing activities. Purchasing entity’s have two options for uploading this information. They may enter it into a searchable list contained within GETS, or they may upload it as an attached document. The GETS searchable list may be of greater use for searching specific categories across purchasing entities, but will not include all of the information available at present (this is not administratively feasible at present, but is something we will be working on in the future).
