Introduction

The Procurement function has developed from a simple administrative function to a fully-fledged strategic business unit. No longer is it sufficient to simply turn requisitions into orders and then await the delivery of the goods or services. It was therefore imperative for Procurement to constantly deliver value to the organization by delivering products and services that contribute to the well-being of the organization.

In order to do this, Best Practices have to be implemented on four levels:
