What are the responsibilities of the Procurement manager?

The primary purpose of procurement management is to manage acquiring products (that is, products, services, or results) from outside the project team in order to complete the project. The external vendor who offers the service is called the seller.

Procurement management includes the following:

1. Plan procurements - Identify purchasing needs, specify the procurement approach, and identify potential sellers.

2. Conduct procurements - Obtain seller responses, select sellers, and issue contracts.

3. Administer procurements - Manage procurement relationships, monitor the procurement performance, and monitor and control changes in procurement.

4. Close procurements - Complete each procurement with proper closure, such as accepting products and closing contracts
