Put very simply, it's about buying things. Buying on behalf of your company or organisation – although there's a lot more to it than that. As a procurement professional, you'll be working with suppliers to get the best deal, but it won't be just about cost. Increasingly, organisations want to know that the products they buy are from sustainable and ethical sources.
It's a growing profession. Today, organisations want to know that their budgets, often substantial, are in hands of professionals. They need to know that they are getting the best possible value for money and also complying with procurement law. Their reputation and delivery may rely on it.
