Self-serve procurement is brilliant, right up until the catalogue turns into a museum, approvals become theatre, and “No PO, no pay” becomes “No PO, big argument”. In large organisations, weak governance drives: maverick spend invoice backlog real compliance risk (public sector) and commercial leakage (private sector) I’ve written a short blog on the most common failure points, plus what to fix first to get control back without slowing the business down.

I reviewed a procurement KPI dashboard with 27 metrics and it still could not answer the CFO’s question: Are we better off this quarter because of procurement?

Not every business needs a full-time procurement team. But most businesses do need procurement to work properly. That’s where fractional procurement support earns its keep. It fills short-term resource gaps and provides medium-term procurement and supply chain leadership when teams are stretched, scaling, or dealing with “just one more urgent request”. The benefits are simple: Senior procurement capability without permanent headcount Faster decisions, fewer workarounds, better supplier outcomes Cost control and governance without slowing the business down Support that scales up or down as demand changes Think of it like borrowing experience instead of recruiting it, no onboarding, no long goodbyes, and no desk plants to look after. If procurement is important, but a full-time hire feels premature, fractional support is often the sensible middle ground.
