Data Analytics & Benchmarking Program
Coming soon!
MAV Procurement is developing a sector-wide Procurement Analytics, Benchmarking & Insights Program to help councils better understand procurement performance, identify opportunities for improvement and learn from practices across local government.
Combining procurement data, benchmarking information and sector knowledge, the program will provide councils with access to meaningful insights that support evidence-based decision making, stronger governance and continuous improvement.
What to Expect
Procurement Analytics
Gain greater visibility of procurement activity through interactive dashboards that provide insights into spend, suppliers, contracts and purchasing trends.
Performance Benchmarking
Compare procurement performance against participating councils to identify trends, opportunities and areas for improvement.
Compliance & Contract Insights
Monitor key procurement compliance measures, contract utilisation and procurement process performance.
Local & Strategic Procurement Reporting
Understand local supplier engagement, category spend and broader procurement outcomes that support council objectives and community benefits.
Procurement Benchmarking Library
Access sector benchmarking information covering procurement governance, delegations, structures, resourcing and operational practices that cannot be captured through spend data alone.
Centralised Document Library
Explore a growing collection of procurement policies, templates, procedures and other reference materials shared across the Victorian local government sector.
Annual & Targeted Benchmarking Surveys
Contribute to and benefit from sector-wide benchmarking activities designed to capture emerging trends, leading practices and operational insights.
Interactive Dashboards & Search Tools
Access practical, user-friendly tools designed to support day-to-day procurement operations, strategic planning and continuous improvement initiatives.
Designed with Councils
The program is being developed in collaboration with Victorian councils to ensure the analytics, benchmarking measures and resources reflect the real-world needs of local government procurement professionals.
By combining procurement data with sector knowledge and benchmarking information, councils will be able to gain a more complete picture of procurement performance, maturity and opportunities for improvement.
Looking Ahead
Pilot programs and working groups are currently helping shape the future of the platform. Following testing, feedback and refinement, the program will be progressively rolled out to councils across Victoria.
Further updates and opportunities to participate will be shared as development continues.
