ILLUSTRATIVE OUTLINE — FOR SCOPING DISCUSSION

Procurement indicator dictionary

This example makes the meaning, calculation and limits of procurement indicators explicit before reporting them.

1. Indicator definitions
What each measure describes, which transactions are included and how values are calculated.

2. Data and verification
Source systems, supplier-status checks, ownership and the treatment of missing information.

3. Reporting notes
Comparability cautions, review frequency and questions that should accompany a dashboard.

A USEFUL STARTING POINT
- The decisions your procurement reporting should support.
- A data dictionary or anonymized sample structure, rather than supplier banking or personal information.
- Existing definitions for spend, supplier categories and reporting periods.

WHAT WE AGREE BEFORE STARTING
- Data quality and verification coverage limit what a reported indicator can establish.
- A reporting framework is not an independent assurance opinion or certification of supplier status.

Final methods, contents and responsibilities are agreed in your proposal.
