Overview

Purchasing encompasses all activities related to the acquisition of goods, services, and works. A good purchasing and public procurement system ensures that the needs of the end-users in organizations are met while maximizing value-for-money. Because most organizations implement its mandate through contracting third-party providers, an efficient purchasing system that enforces sufficient internal controls and that promotes transparency and ease of audit is key to government operations.
