About PSRM

A reference, governed in the open.

PSRM is the Procurement and Supply Reference Map: a council-governed reference for how procurement and supply capability is described, evidenced and improved.

Why it exists

Procurement and supply need a shared reference.

Guidance is scattered across process models, advisory material and tools. Much of it groups activity without showing who owns the decision, what evidence proves the capability, and how AI may take part. Leaders need a shared way to describe capability, read evidence, govern AI participation and track progress without turning the map into a mandate.

PSRM closes that gap by putting reference points, evidence and maturity in one shared map.

How it fits together

Map, Atlas, Council, Institute.

The Map

The reference itself.

The Atlas

The published body of streams, blocks and modules.

The Council

The body that governs publication, ratification and integrity.

The Institute

The education and credential route being prepared under Council authority.

Principles

What PSRM holds itself to.

  • Independent

    Governed by the Council, not by any vendor, firm or founder.

  • Evidence-led

    Claims about capability are tied to reference evidence tiers.

  • Vendor-neutral

    No product endorsement, ranking or preferred-tool position.

  • Practical

    Written to be read and used, not to sit on a shelf.

  • Free to read

    The public reference is free to read for every reader.

  • Reference, not opinion

    PSRM describes capability. The organisation decides its own target.

Independence

No commercial influence over the reference.

Revenue, licences, future education routes and recognition routes must not buy influence over map content, maturity tiers, controls, evidence expectations or Council decisions. The map changes through due process.
