Complexity Assessment

Determine your procurement's complexity quadrant using the VGPB two-level assessment.

If all mandatory questions are answered Yes, the procurement is transactional. Otherwise, a detailed scoring assessment follows.

Known requirement

Are the requirements well known, clearly defined, and stable?

Standard specification *

Can the requirement be met by standard, off-the-shelf goods or services without significant customisation?

Simple evaluation

Can the procurement be evaluated using straightforward, objective criteria?

Competitive market *

Is there a competitive supply market with multiple capable suppliers?

Low supply risk *

Is the risk of supply failure low (e.g. readily available, non-critical)?

Low contract complexity *

Can the contract be managed with standard terms and conditions?

Low stakeholder complexity *

Are stakeholder requirements straightforward with minimal cross-agency coordination?

* Mandatory — answering No triggers a detailed assessment
