Colorado State Purchasing Office

Training Assessment and Planning

Challenge

The State of Colorado sought to improve procurement and contracting services within and across state agencies.

Project

SageRiver Consulting completed a procurement and contracting training assessment for the Colorado State Purchasing Office, which included surveys, key stakeholder interviews and internal focus groups. To enrich the assessment, we conducted a national survey and follow-up interviews with state administrative service leaders to benchmark Colorado against best practices.

Results

SageRiver delivered a training improvement plan to the State Purchasing Office addressing priorities and programs identified during our assessment activities. The plan also focused on best practices in training and development for procurement and contracting.
