INTRODUCTION

Procurement is an essential function that contributes to cost efficiencies of an organization. Some companies major spending is in the areas of materials purchase, either, direct or indirect, and could run into hundreds of millions of dollars annually. When a robust system of managing these funds is absent, there could be a total chaos; fraud, unethical behaviours and maverick purchases.

By formulating a carefully drafted contract that creates a win-win situation for all parties of a business, major issues, conflicts and inefficiencies are driven out of the equation. The only way then is to understand how contracts help to achieve company strategies.
