Better Procurement Working Group
The Better Procurement Working Group is generating a variety of resources to address the many issues with government acquisitions and procurement processes, and how automating them can reduce time lost, taper cost, and minimize lost assets. More specifically, these resources will assist with identifying efficiencies and reducing the amount of days it takes for a much needed support contract to be awarded, clearly defining, developing and communicating requirements to optimize understanding, and streamlining the source selection process. These efforts will help to improve government and vendor communications; ensuring that solutions do not become obsolete before they can be effectively implemented, and recommendations for overcoming barriers in future procurements are widely available for the procurement community.
