Publieke sector onderschat mogelijkheden eigen inkoopkracht
|
| Utrecht, February, 2010 - De private sector bewijst dat de inkoopfunctie in de huidige economische omstandigheden besparingen kan realiseren die veel bedrijven uit de rode cijfers houdt. Een professionele inkoopfunctie in de publieke sector kan dan ook substantieel bijdragen aan de forse bezuinigingen die het kabinet in 2010 voor ogen staan. Toch onderschat de overheid de mogelijkheden van de eigen inkoopkracht. Zo stuurt de publieke sector niet of nauwelijks op prestaties van leveranciers en is het vizier nog te vaak gericht op lage inkoopprijzen in plaats van kostenbesparingen op de lange termijn. Dit blijkt uit een onderzoek waarin Atos Consulting, de consulting tak van Atos Origin, inzicht biedt in de belangrijkste trends in het inkoopbeleid van de publieke sector. |
