We get a lot of complaints about procurement and the national procurement services. The general thrust is that the procurement system is slow in general and clumsy in that it is unable to act quickly. Is that true? Is it slow in comparison with similar agencies elsewhere? How do we compete or compare? Is there an intention to make any improvements or updates to address the criticisms that we have all heard from time to time?
