Committee approves augmented procurement staffing and modernization work with NIGP
Summary
The committee approved a change order to continue augmented procurement staffing and modernization with the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP); the agenda cited an award amount that may exceed $800,384 and staff outlined six priority modernization areas, including governance, technology and workforce development.
Item 1195 requested a change order to continue augmented procurement staffing with NIGP and to support a broader procurement modernization program. The agenda text indicates the purchasing amount would exceed $800,384. Director Butler and procurement staff briefed the committee on the modernization approach and said NIGP identified six priority areas: governance; policy and procedures; organization readiness; technology; workforce development; and supplier engagement.
Director Butler explained that the augmented staffing supports workforce development and that procurement has already used NIGP personnel successfully. Commissioners asked for a fuller update to return to FAB in a subsequent meeting. "We began engaging with the NIGP to assist us in some qualified senior individuals who could perform lower level to high level services for us and that's actually gone very well," Director Butler said. The committee approved the change order by voice vote.
