» Morgan Sindall Upskills their Procurement Team Through Supply Chain Improvement Programme
Discover how Action Sustainability supported Morgan Sindall in upskilling both their supply chain and procurement managers and directors via our procurement learning journey of workshops.
Morgan Sindall Group were seeking support in refreshing their knowledge of procurement and supply chain management via our Procurement learning journey of workshops.
The aim was to engage with and involve the value chain from clients to tier 1s. The participants therefore consisted of Supply Chain and Procurement Directors and Managers from Morgan Sindall’s various divisions and business units, client-side representation from Network Rail and National Highways and Tier 1 contractor Emico.
The Supply Chain Sustainability School started out by ensuring the participants undertook the procurement self-assessment of 14 skill/topic areas within procurement as a function and scored themselves ranging from 1 point for minimal knowledge to 5 points for expert level knowledge.
The executive sponsor from Morgan Sindall ensured the participants were registered for the workshops and engaged in the conversations that followed.
The workshop topics selected by Morgan Sindall were – Introduction to Procurement, Value through Plant & Materials Procurement, Value through Subcontract Procurement, Supplier Performance Management, Supplier Relationship Management, and Collaboration in Procurement.
“This programme has proven to be a comprehensive reminder and source of best practice excellently delivered by Mellita D’silva. Without doubt the partnership between CIPS and Action Sustainability is a winning formula, best practice communicated via experienced practitioners in a pragmatic and professional way. The Morgan Sindall procurement team including our supply chain have benefited from the programme.
The analysis provided a confidence in Keepmoat to align its processes and approach to ISO 20400 as there are plenty examples of good practice with the key elements of Fundamentals, Policy and Strategy being strong. Keepmoat’s approach to sustainable procurement was assessed as being ‘established ‘.
The evaluation results gave Keepmoat an action plan of activities to do, the timescales and complexity in carrying them out to reach their sustainability goals. The recommendations will bring about alignment of the procurement process, especially within the regions with organisational goals, prioritisation of opportunities as well as risks to inform the procurement strategies, better supply chain relationships through supplier performance and contract management.
The ISO 20400 Standard is an ideal platform to use to assess and then improve your procurement, supply chain management and sustainability outcomes.
Action Sustainability are recognised leaders in sustainability delivery and sustainable procurement.
