What are the procurement methods?

1. Bidding procurement: the buyer puts forward the bidding conditions and contract conditions, and many suppliers bid for quotations at the same time. Through bidding, the buyer can obtain the material supply with more reasonable price and more favorable conditions. Bidding is divided into two ways: open bidding and invitation bidding.

2. Non-bidding procurement: refers to the procurement method of obtaining goods, projects and services by means other than open bidding and invitation bidding. Non-tendering methods are divided into inquiry, price comparison and negotiation.

3. Centralized procurement: Centralized procurement includes centralized procurement by institutions and centralized procurement by departments. For general government procurement projects in the catalogue, centralized procurement agencies shall be entrusted to purchase on their behalf. For projects with special requirements for this department and this system, centralized procurement by departments should be implemented. Compared with centralized procurement, it is called decentralized procurement.

Procurement principle:

1. Cost bottom line: Procurement should not only serve as a service function, but also meet the requirements of its users, and users will not ask too many questions. The purchasing department should be able to put forward the existing product design, alternatives of raw materials or components used and alternative suppliers.

2. Inter-departmental communication: purchasing decisions cannot be made in isolation, and the goal cannot be only the optimization of purchasing performance. When making purchasing decisions, we should consider the impact of these decisions on other major activities. Only by working closely with all fields and related managers can the purchasing and supply strategy develop effectively.
