A typical procurement cycle starts with identifying a need, and ends with awarding a contract. Since excellent decision making is an integral part of managing any business’s success, and there are many decisions made by various departments within your organization which eventually involve procurement, ensuring procurement is optimized has a great impact on the total cost of implementing decisions. Here, cost means the total cost of the good or service and not just the price paid. That’s where The Swiss Quality comes in. Otherwise, how could you manage such tasking responsibility all by yourself?

What is procurement?

Procurement means sourcing and purchasing goods and services for businesses, often from an external source. As an individual business, there are certain procurement policies that help govern your choice of suppliers, products, and procedures to communicate with your suppliers.

Private and Public Procurement

There are different perceptions of procurement in the public and private sectors. For instance, procurement in the private sector is seen as a purposeful, strategic function to enhance the profitability of the organization. Conversely, procurement in the public sector does not require that the shareholders pay any dividends out or publicly declare their profit. Yet, it is used to maximize the output in the areas of teaching and research with the funds available. Thus, procurement should concern putting in efforts to streamline the processes of the business, reduce the prices of materials, and determine better and cheaper sources of supply. In order to explicitly handle this, it is not surprising how much help from a professional consultant you would need.
