The Procurement Competency Matrix (PCM) aims to bring together and align strategies from across the sector for the procurement workforce. This includes strategies relating to:
- succession planning
- staff attraction and retention
- capability development
- performance management.
The PCM identifies and defines the technical procurement competencies that procurement professionals require when working in the Western Australian public sector. It aims to:
- promote a shared understanding of the roles, responsibilities and expectations of procurement positions
- provide consistent capability standards for professional procurement across the sector
- support managers and staff by providing the means to address capability gaps across teams or individuals
The PCM is co-branded with the Public Sector Commission (PSC) and was developed with input from agencies across the Western Australian public sector.
