The 2023 Buyer Survey
As we turned the page to 2023, the Procurated team with the Procurement Insight Network (PIN) reached out to procurement professionals from across the country to get a rundown of some of the key challenges they faced and overcame in 2022, to learn about the way they did their important work, and to uncover what they look forward to in 2023.
The survey covered 5 main areas:
The survey covered 5 main areas:
- Looking Back at 2022 - From continued pandemic recovery, to supply chain disruptions as a result of global events, to a wave of industry retirements, 2022 had a lot going on. Our survey respondents take a look back at the year's challenges and the ways that they persevered.
- The Procurement Process - New techniques and technologies are impacting how agency buyers are doing their jobs. Our survey respondents share details of their agency's processes.
- Supplier References - Up until recently, supplier references have been one of the only ways that buyers have been able to gain insight into supplier past performance. We dig into the reference process to gauge its utility as a tool for effective due diligence.
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - Procurement agencies across the country are working to diversify their supplier base, and boost participation of minority and women-owned businesses in government and higher-ed opportunities.
- Looking Forward to 2023 - It is tough to predict what the year ahead has in store for procurement teams. But our respondents share details about the things they are looking forward to and the ways they are building resiliency to meet any challenges that may arise in 2023.
As we move forward we will be able to compare survey results from this year against subsequent annual survey results to get a more directional sense of how the community is growing, changing, and developing!
