Procurement is the act of obtaining or purchasing goods or services, typically for business purposes. Procurement is most commonly associated with businesses because companies need to solicit services or purchase goods, usually on a relatively large scale. It can also include the overall procurement process, which is critically important for companies leading up to their final purchasing decision. Companies can be on both sides of the procurement process as buyers or sellers, though here we mainly focus on the side of the soliciting company.

Project purchase procurement includes the following requirements:

  • Provide at least two suppliers for competitive bidding and procurement.
  • Each purchase needs to be approved by the manager.
  • If the total purchase price is more than $30,000, further approval needs to be processed by the director.

Project purchase procurement includes the following forms:

  • Project purchase procurement: linked with other forms.
  • Projects: list all projects involved in the purchase process.
  • Service suppliers: list all service providers with rank and selection.
  • Market price comparison: list market prices for comparison.
