Portt and Dunedin City Council win the World Commerce and Contracting Innovation and Excellence Award for outstanding cooperation and collaboration

By Portt

COMPANY NEWS: At an awards ceremony in Melbourne on Monday 7 August, Portt, an Advanced company and Dunedin City Council (DCC) jointly won the 2023 World Commerce and Contracting (WorldCC) Innovation and Excellence Award for Outstanding Cooperation and Collaboration for their use of the Lean-Agile Procurement (LAP) approach to select Portt’s Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution.

The highly collaborative LAP approach reduced the usual procurement process from three months to three days and ensured that Portt’s solution was the best fit to automate supplier contracting activities, streamline approvals, manage flows and capture rich data for DCC.

Now in their 10th year, these prestigious awards showcase the very best from the international contracting and commercial management #CCM community, with recognition given both globally and regionally. Entries this year were of a very high calibre, so Portt’s success in the category of “Outstanding Cooperation & Collaboration” for the Asia Pacific region is a huge achievement.

WorldCC CEO Sally Guyer says, “By entering WorldCC’s Innovation and Excellence Awards, teams and individuals show the tangible benefit they provide, and the impact they make on delivering strategic value to both customers and company.”

Guyer continues, “Portt and Dunedin City Council’s joint entry showed us they added real strategic value, and the judges were very impressed with what they have achieved.”

“We are thrilled that WorldCC chose to celebrate the talent and initiative from Portt and Dunedin City Council in their 2023 Innovation & Excellence Awards,” said Growth – Spend & Governance global director of growth Mark Reddy.

DCC general manager Robert West said, “The importance of using the face-to-face agile process to allow for an honest ‘up front’ conversation on scope and having Portt challenge and test our thinking was essential to getting the right outcome for this critical project for the Council, cannot be underestimated.”

DCC procurement and contracts manager Serge Kolman said, “Both DCC and Portt leaned into the two-day event even before the contract was awarded and this approach has allowed for open communication and problem-solving, resulting in a collaborative and trusted environment where both parties could build a strong relationship.”

"This process took days, not months, to complete and as we were able to work closely with the project team and stakeholders, this resulted in an immediate clear direction on which we could all move forward," said Reddy.
