Helpful Hints
You can use information from this report to develop your own purchasing strategy, for example:

Look at the Purchase Orders raised by your purchasing groups which are over a certain net
order value i.e. greater than or equal to £25,000.00

Look at the top 20 supppliers for your Purcashing Group to measure what degree of
influence you have over them i.e:

Are they contracted suppliers?

Did the supplier win a large tender?

Or, are they a supplier where no agreement exists?
If so then this report is a prompt to regulate the situation by formalising arrangements with the
supplier or you may consider switching to a contracted supplier in the future.
(Inevitably there will be some suppliers where it will be impossible to have any influence, i.e.
payments to another University)
