Standardized Requests in Procurement Planning

In 2025, public buyers will prioritize procurement planning to avoid falling behind in efficiency. Research shows that nearly 40% of procurement resources go into planning, yet inefficiencies persist due to manual processes, fragmented communication, and non-standardized requests.

Digital solutions are set to change this. By collecting sourcing needs in a structured way, these tools will help teams create precise procurement plans, ensuring the right items are ordered with no surprises. Requests will flow seamlessly into tenders, eliminating bottlenecks and errors. Collaboration will also improve as all stakeholders—managers, planners, and requesters—are integrated into a single, transparent system. With full visibility and smoother workflows, procurement teams will spend less time firefighting and more time making strategic decisions.

This shift will turn procurement planning into a streamlined, efficient process—empowering public buyers to get it right, every time.
