What are Procurement and Sourcing?

Procurement: The overarching process of acquiring goods and services that a company needs for its operations. It goes beyond simply buying things; procurement covers:

  • Identifying needs

  • Finding suppliers

  • Negotiating contracts

  • Ordering

  • Receiving goods/services

  • Payment processing

  • Managing supplier relationships


Sourcing:  A strategic part of procurement. It focuses on:

  • Researching the market to find potential suppliers

  • Evaluating suppliers based on cost, quality, reliability, sustainability, and risk factors

  • Selecting the best suppliers for the business's specific needs


Why is Learning Procurement and Sourcing Important for Companies and Managers?

  • Cost Savings: Effective procurement and sourcing finds the best value for money. This directly impacts the company's bottom line.

  • Efficiency: Streamlined processes in procurement avoid delays and bottlenecks in a company's operations.

  • Risk Mitigation: Thorough sourcing helps identify potential risks (like supply disruptions) and proactively manage them.

  • Competitive Advantage: Strong supplier relationships and access to quality materials or services can give companies an edge in the market.

  • Innovation: Sourcing can help uncover new technologies, materials, or processes that boost a company's offerings.


How Procurement and Sourcing Skills Build Global Careers

  • High Demand: Companies worldwide of all sizes need individuals who understand how to source and procure effectively.

  • Transferable Skills: The fundamentals of procurement and sourcing apply across industries and countries.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Procurement interacts with many departments (finance, operations, legal), giving a broad view of how businesses function globally.

  • Growth Potential: As globalization increases, the need for professionals who understand the complexities of international procurement and supply chains will rise.
