Multi-Annual Procurement Planning  (MAPP)

The MAPP template is part of the CPP pack.

It is a vital forecasting and planning tool for education institutions as it allows them to collate and aggregate their predicted spend data for the forthcoming three years including details on current contract status, contract expiry dates and number of procurement transactions per year.

Contract renewal can be planned under national frameworks and central arrangements.
