Abstract

This paper relates the design of a procurement processes assessment model based on multiple sources. The authors explain the literature on procurement processes, procurement capability determination and maturity models, and the related published frameworks. The paper describes the selected sources and compares them together. Then the Transformation Process used to design the process assessment model, based on the use of goal trees and requirements derivation is detailed and then further discussed. A part of the resulting process assessment model is presented. The originality and the main explorative part of the works resides in the combined use of several sources to build the model.
