Basic Steps Involved in Procurement

Procurement

The process of obtaining good or services

There are several steps involved in procurement process

STEP 1. Requirement By Users

The goods or services that are required by users are raised in form of hard copy in
form of several forms such as purchase request form or indent forms.
Any Department th0P([[[[[[\at need material or good plus services will contact
procurement department

The above mentioned forms are forwarded by Head of Department then


approved by operational director through collaboration of procurement manager
and director Finance.
STEP. 2 Vendor Selection and Acquiring Quotation

The purchasing department takes responsibility for the vendor selection which is
an integral part of the procurement management process. The vendor selection is
a subsidiary process that allows clearly stating, defining and approving those
vendors which meet requirements of the procurement process. The buying
department is responsible for creating a list of potential suppliers and submitting
that list to the project manager in order to decide on the vendors in conference.
However, the ultimate decisions on the vendors cannot be made without vendor
selection criteria, so the purchase department in cooperation with the project
manager needs to develop and use such criteria.
Often vendor selection criteria vary between organizations; however, they need to
be identified and included as a component of the inventory management plan.
The criteria for vendor selection include the following:
 Delivery – an ability of the contractor to procure all required items within
desired delivery dates
 Quality of the procurement services – an ability of the contractor to provide
products with the expected quality
 Cost of the procurement services – a comparison of prices provided by several
contractors
 Past performance – records on the contractor’s procurement activities
undertaken in the past

A Request for Quotation (RfQ) is used when you plan to purchase


some products and you would like to receive a quote for those
products. In Odoo, the Request for Quotation is used to send your list of
desired products to your supplier. Once your supplier has answered
your request, you can choose to go ahead with the offer and purchase
or to turn down the offer.
