Before you invest in building procurement capability, you need to know where you are starting from. The Capability Assessment gives your organisation a clear, evidence-based picture of how your procurement function currently operates, where the gaps and risks are, and what to prioritise next. The assessment process itself is educational. Your team participates in the review, which surfaces insights they did not previously have.

What this includes

Structured assessment of procurement maturity: D1 Advisory evaluates your current procurement practices against a best-practice framework. The assessment covers policy, process, people capability, systems, and governance.

Stakeholder and team engagement: The assessment involves conversations with the people who buy, approve, and manage supplier relationships in your organisation. This ensures the findings reflect reality, not just documentation.

Findings report with prioritised recommendations: You receive a clear report that identifies gaps, quantifies risks where possible, and provides a prioritised list of recommendations. The report is written in plain language, not consultant jargon.

Development roadmap: The recommendations are structured into a practical roadmap: what to do first, what can wait, and what requires external support versus what your team can implement independently.
