Agency procurement Functional Maturity Assessments

Queensland Government Procurement (QGP) has established a Standing Offer Arrangement (SOA) QGP001-FMA-2025 for Procurement Functional Maturity Assessment services.

The Functional Maturity Assessments (FMAs) are undertaken using an online tool, designed to enable a whole-of-government standardisation of maturity measurement, supporting Queensland Government to elevate its procurement maturity from ‘Established’ to ‘Leading’ by 2027, and ultimately to ‘Excellence’ by 2032.

FMAs evaluate how well an agency's procurement practices align with standards and benchmarks.

By completing an assessment, agencies can:

  • identify limitations in procurement processes
  • identify strengths in procurement processes that can inform capability uplift in other agencies
  • assess resourcing requirements for capability uplift
  • demonstrate their commitment to achieving procurement excellence.

This initiative reinforces the government's commitment to fostering a culture of continuous improvement and investment in procurement capability development.
