This report delves into the realm of strategic procurement within the healthcare sector, focusing on the implementation of e-procurement systems. It begins by outlining a research methodology that encompasses risk establishment, strategy formulation, and the utilization of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the best strategies. The report identifies various risks associated with e-procurement software, including technical, transactional, business, legal, financial, and external risks. It then proposes several strategies to mitigate these risks, such as involving suppliers in planning, implementing computerized rules, centralizing control of contracts, and ensuring confidentiality. The report also provides a cost analysis for implementing these strategies and uses AHP to rank them based on their potential impact and cost-effectiveness. The report highlights the importance of effective change management and training for all stakeholders to ensure the successful adoption of e-procurement. The ultimate goal is to enhance service delivery and streamline the procurement process within healthcare facilities.
