Only 3% of UK organisations have a completely automated procurement process.

Research of 110 public and private sector organisations, by the National Computing Centre (NCC) and business management service provider, COA Solutions, has revealed that just 3% of UK organisations have a totally automated procurement process.

The research also highlighted that just 25% of respondents have established a green and sustainable procurement policy across their entire organisations.

Mark Thompson, MD of COA Solutions, says, “This research highlights that UK organisations are still not taking full advantage of automated procurement, which is surprising because during challenging economic times, cutting costs and streamlining procurement should be at the top of organisations’ agendas.”
