Strategic Procurement Management
Overview:
This is the act of satisfying business requirements from markets through the proactive and structured analyses of supply markets and the selection of capable vendors to meet the agreed business needs.
Typically, many business organisations in Nigeria have always encouraged “reactive vendor management” which largely deploys poor approaches to the detriment of corporate governance and profitability. Furthermore, the consequences of poor procurement management which physically manifests quite often in extensive delays, high costs, abandoned and delayed projects, abound in our economy.
Interestingly, it is becoming increasingly important to manage the suppliers (vendors) after the award of contract as against the belief that once a contract is awarded all is safe.
