All goods purchased pass through a receiving department under the direction of the chief purchasing agent. The duties of the receiving department are to unpack, count, and inspect the goods.

The most valuable output of the Plan Procurement Process is the Procurement Management Plan. As is the case with almost every aspect of the project management process, it is essential and imperative that the project management team implement an effective and concise plan when it comes to the various components of procurement throughout the project’s life cycle. Specifically speaking, the procurement management plan refers to the plan that has been put into place that is meant to dictate and describe the entirety of the procurement process and how it is means to relate to and with the developing procurement documentation, and how contract closure will relate to all. The procurement management plan should be implemented and developed as early in the project life cycle as possible to assure that the procurement process is consistent throughout, however, in some cases the plan may be altered once the project begins, particularly if budgetary reasons dictate.

The PMBOK Guide (Project Management Institute, 2008) defines procurement documents as those documents which are used to gather proposals from potential bidders during the solicitation process. These can be collected under request for information (RFI), invitation for bid (IB), request for proposal (RFP), request for quotation (RFQ), invitation for negotiation, tender notice or invitation for seller’s initial response.

For a purchasing operation to be effective it must adhere to some key points. A purchasing operation must identify the requirements of the user, effectively and efficiently evaluate the needs of the user, and identify suppliers that will meet the needs of the use.

There are a large number of E-procurement tools that could be distinguished in the marketplace (de Boer et al., 2001). Some of them are already well developed and highly accepted in the marketplace; nonetheless, there are numerous E-procurement tools that are immature and require further development (Wang, 2006). For the purpose for this paper, we aim to focus on the E-procurement tools that are widely accepted in the government and private sectors. The four most common E-procurement tools being used consist of E-Sourcing, E-Tendering, E-Reverse Auction and E-Collaboration (Boer et. al., 2001). The description of the four E-procurement tools would be provided, following by comprehensive explanations and visual diagrams to demonstrate how

The term e-procurement gained popularity around the year 2000. Emergence of the two competitors Ariba and Commerce One, companies that specialized in the support of electronic procurement for MRO products, changed the way indirect MRO spend used to be looked upon. Introduction of internet-based procurement applications prompted a change from a centrally organized procurement (central buying) department to ‘desktop procurement’ environment, where the employee in need of a product would initiate the purchase transaction electronically. With these two trends, ‘decentralized purchasing’ and ‘multi-vendor catalogues’, the conduit toward electronic support of the MRO buying process was paved. Thus, over the period, spend analysts have started observing carefully, to increase spend under management and implement better control over tail spend in order to reduce the amount of fulfilling formalities and time consumed in procuring these products.
