5 ii. Initiative Goals Improving Procurement in Los Angeles

6 Previous Procurement Reform 1994 Resulted in $36 million, with an additional $3 to $4 million per year, in savings. The City consolidated commodity spending, inventory, warehousing and financial records. Yet, contracting for services, the largest component of Los Angeles procurement, remains decentralized among its departments.

8 A Core Focus: Operational Challenges PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITY: Need for holistic, structural leadership to drive integrated, City-wide metrics, performance, and leverage scale. Individual departmental contracting operations are not aligned to execute best practices. Prospective vendors have no central point of entry into the City s processes. Performance metrics and timeline goals are non-existent across the City s departments. Thus, this creates the environment for a 432-day services contracting process and builtin higher pricing to be the City s operational norm.

9 Operational Opportunity Streamline and improve procurement and contracting practices across City departments and proprietaries. $8.2 billion in total expenditures. Commodities and Bureau of Contract Administration are examples of improvements that positively impacted the city s procurement processes.
