Contract and bid compliance testing system

Every purchase order tested against the contract register and the procurement policy, so compliance becomes a rate with a trend and an owner. The share of spend that can actually be tested is reported on the face of every number.

The decision this model makes

You have a procurement policy. It says what has to go to tender, who can approve what, which terms are non-negotiable and what happens when a contract expires. Nobody in the business can tell you what share of last year's spend actually followed it.

Not because anybody is hiding anything. Because testing compliance means joining every purchase order to the contract it should have been written against, and no report does that.

The policy lives in a document and the spend lives in a ledger, and the two have never met. So compliance gets asserted annually rather than measured monthly, and the assertion is made by the people being measured.

Failures are not evenly distributed and they are not random. They cluster on the trades where the policy is hardest to follow — urgent work, small values, expired paper, a category nobody re-tendered because the incumbent was fine.

Cause 01
Priced outside contract

The rate paid differs from the awarded schedule, or there was no schedule. Real money, and it is credited to trade rate drift.

Cause 02
Un-tendered award

Awarded above threshold with a single bid. The tender that never ran, and the easiest of the three to schedule.

Cause 03
Terms not enforced

Backcharges not raised, retention released early, insurance and warranty terms not held. The fastest to move.

Cause 04
Expired contract

Still transacting past term. No rate, no recourse, no renewal conversation, and a premium on every order.
