This is a self-assessment based on your own answers, a structured first read, not an audit, evaluation or certification. Your answers are not sent or stored anywhere; they stay in your browser and disappear when you leave the page. For an independent assessment, for example against international benchmarking approaches such as MAPS | Risalat can carry out a consultant-led procurement review.

Need a deeper, independent assessment?

Risalat experts can run a consultant-led review with document analysis, interviews and a full report.

How this diagnostic works

Scoring: each answer is scored on the scale shown; each area's score is the share of the maximum points, and areas below the threshold are flagged as priorities.

Limitations: answers are self-reported and not verified. This diagnostic does not replace MAPS, PEFA, World Bank or other formal assessment methodologies, or an independent review.

Need a verified result? Ask for an independent assessment by Risalat: our specialists review your evidence, interview your team and deliver a costed action plan. Scope and price on request.
