What is the purpose of a Strategic Procurement Outlook Statement?
The purpose of the Strategic Procurement Outlook Statement is to give potential suppliers an overview of the agency and the context in which it conducts its procurement. The strategic outlook should provide a summary of any key, major or strategic initiatives from which procurements are likely to arise. An agency may wish to prepare more than one strategic outlook statement, for example, along business lines or procurement activity. The detail must include the subject matter of the planned procurement, an estimated date of approach to the market or the timeframe in which it is expected to occur, and the procedure to obtain request documentation.
