Spencer Hill from Icosa Ltd joins us to discuss the merits of undertaking an organisational Procurement Maturity Assessment and whilst an exercise that can be carried out at any point, with “Go-live” looming the Act provides that extra necessity as the sector prepares itself to become business ready.
