What is Procurement in Construction?

In the construction industry, procurement refers to securing the services or materials needed to complete your project. A construction project has a vast landscape of processes and responsibilities.

Your business needs to ensure that the procurement process is closely monitored, from identifying sustainable construction procurement routes to establishing an efficient supply chain considering rising costs and environmental impacts.

A good construction procurement strategy will ensure that your project is executed efficiently from the beginning to the end. Several factors come together to establish a successful and effective construction procurement management system, including but not limited to:

  • Tendering process
  • Soliciting tender enquiries, initiations and bids
  • Navigating regulations
  • Sourcing and procuring of materials and contractors
  • Managing risks and compliance
  • Contract negotiations
  • Quality assurance
  • Sustainability
  • Pro-active cost control

Procurement strategies must align with the project’s needs and objectives. Factors that influence decision-making include speed, budget, quality, risk and project complexity.

With our expert advice, we can help your procurement manager throughout the entire procurement process and deliver a strong infrastructure for your construction project.
