When and for which companies is outsourcing of procurement and supply relevant:

  • When the volume of purchases is small or they are carried out rarely, it is not profitable to have your own supplier. The Company has the opportunity to entrust the work (or part of the work) on supply to an outsourcer, while they themselves concentrate on developing their business.
  • When you have to make atypical purchases, and the competence of existing buyers is not enough. In this case, employees of the supply department can focus on core (volume-generating) purchases, and the involvement of an outsourcer helps to increase the overall efficiency of procurement (achieving a higher level of savings on purchased goods and services) without additional investments in organizing the process.
  • When procurement is carried out by technical specialists (administrator, HR manager, etc.) who do not have the necessary market knowledge.

But, at the same time, without organizing a competent procurement and delivery scheme for goods, an organization simply cannot develop while carrying out its commercial activities.
