This document provides an overview of the purchasing and procurement process. It is delivered in modules, with Module 4 focusing on purchasing and procurement processes. The module covers the planning, solicitation and selection, and post-procurement phases. In the planning phase, the need is identified, scope and requirements are defined, and potential vendors are identified. In solicitation and selection, a formal solicitation is issued to vendors who are then evaluated and a vendor is selected. Post-procurement involves contract negotiation, execution, and management. The goal is to apply a structured process to identify needs, select the best vendor, and manage the resulting contract.
