Abstract
In recent years, Health Promotion Board (HPB) has made a strategic shift from a traditional health education approach to an eco-systemic approach in health promotion, where the Board engages and harnesses the collective power of the 3 Ps (People, Private, and Public). The procuring of core services is a key enabler to support HPB's focus areas in tobacco control, mental well-being, health screening, obesity prevention, nutrition, dietetic services, chronic disease education, etc. In tandem with the Board's strategic shift, the procurement function has taken on strategic importance and is now functioning as an independent department, reporting to HPB's CEO. Fundamentally, HPB Procurement Department has changed the way it interacts with the business as it stands by the belief that the real procurement value goes beyond compliance (Caldwell & Howard, 2010). “Proper”, “simpler”, “faster”, “closer” and “cheaper” are now its mantra for procurement excellence. The objective of this paper is to highlight the transformation journey that HPB's Procurement Department undertook to deliver the results, impact and value to the stakeholders.
