Runs in: ERP · Finance
Measured on: Addressable spend competitively sourced

Authorised · Logged · Reversible

How much of the savings you negotiated did you actually realise?

Every addressable requisition above threshold went to a competitive, documented tender, and the tender completed fast enough that nobody routed around it.

Business outcomes

Tenders that actually run, because the assembly work no longer decides whether they happen
Comparable bids, normalised onto one basis rather than compared across six formats
Price tested against your own history, not only against the other bids in the room
A complete procurement file assembled as work happens, rather than reconstructed when challenged
Savings that survive to realisation, because buying through the contract is the faster path

Measured on

Addressable spend competitively sourced
Requisition-to-award cycle time
Savings realised against savings negotiated
On-contract compliance rate

What MARCELO does alone, and what stays with your team

MARCELO reports to the Chief Procurement Officer. Anything outside the agreed boundary goes to category manager, vendor-master owner or procurement governance, with the evidence attached.
