(Solution) CIPS PIN Effective Negotiation ROSHN Syndicate Cohort 1
The purpose of this report was to develop a commercial negotiation plan. This plan is applicable by the organisation in the identified spend category.
In this context of the assessment, ROSHN, one of the leading Saudi Arabian real estate development companies in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 has been used successfully.
The key findings in this report evidence that the mission of ROSHN is to meet housing needs and have made it their goal to build 70% homes for Saudi families within the year 2030.
Another key finding is that procurement division the Vendor Management Team (VMT) and Commercial Procurement Team provides timely delivery of resources for housing projects at HDB.
The major findings in this assessment also evidence that Mendelow’s Matrix, PESTLED analysis, and Kraljic Matrix are all components of Roshn’s main strategic procurement cycle, which also places a focus on Principled negotiations when it comes to procuring for necessary resources.
Another main finding is that, as it can be seen from the above discussion, most of the choices made by ROSHN in procurement positively influence its procuring activities regarding its strategy and Vision 2030 objectives.
Nonetheless, there are opportunities for improvement about supplier analysis, risk management, stakeholder management, and the tracking of concessions, which would provide greater negotiating power and procurement performance.
Based on these key findings and generated conclusions, a set of recommendations have been generated which are relevant in this report which entail;
- Ensure that supplier evaluations reflect Vision 2030 by using innovation, sustainability, and sound supplier financials.
- Prepare a detailed risk management plan on sourcing with special reference to using alternate sources as well as pre-screened backups to replace regular suppliers.
- Improve contact with negative factors that affect company regulations.
- Evaluate the factors prevailing in the market to get better negotiation power from the supplier.
- Increase specific characteristics, for example, supplier reliability which contain qualitative elements.
(Solution) CIPS Saudi Syndicate Cohort 1 (Practitioner) PIN
This report is concerned with exploring diverse sourcing approaches in procurement and supply management (PS&M) for implementation in the IT category in today’s business environment.
The basis for this analysis is the IT procurement strategy at ROSHN, one of Saudi Arabia’s key contributors to its Vision 2030. Data, which have been gathered from ROSHN’s internal documents have been used to achieve the aim of the report and some strategic frameworks were applied such Mendelow’s Matrix, STEEPLE and Kraljic Matrix.
The findings here indicate that ROSHN’s preferred approach is to multiple source the services to ensure a degree of flexibility and to balance the risks involved in what is fundamentally a competitive and fast changing market. Multiple sourcing is used to increase vendor options and pricing competitiveness, while sole or single sourcing is used in very limited case.
Further it indicates that where dual sourcing is employed, the diverse solutions or vendor capabilities will be required to meet the extensive project requirements that ROSHN has for smart community development. ROSHN’s application of supplier appraisal tools in the IT category will achieve value for money, quality, and meet its strategic goals.
Based on these findings, several gaps were identified that can be managed through the following recommendations:
- Internal and external analyses should be carried out in order to pinpoint the best or most effective sourcing strategies for IT.
- A broader sourcing appraisal strategy should be introduced within the procurement policies and practices.
- Improve in focus in managing effective sourcing strategies based on organisational objectives.
- Broader inclusion of stakeholders in the procurement process, in order to enhance sourcing strategy effectiveness.
- Capacity development initiatives should be implemented in the PS&M practices, especially within IT category.
