| Summary: | This paper introduces a novel integrated procurement maturity
model (IPMM) designed to evaluate procurement performance in terms of
development effectiveness and value for money. The IPMM incorporates a
comprehensive set of key performance indicators, encompassing both
qualitative and quantitative measures, to provide a holistic assessment of
procurement practices. By integrating various dimensions of procurement
maturity, such as strategy, processes, systems, and capabilities, the IPMM
enables organisations to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. The
IPMM was tested on ten international development organisation and two
private sector organisations. The results provide comparative analysis of
procurement performance and serve as a potent tool for measuring procurement
practices and ultimately improving development outcomes while integrating the
concept of value for money.
