Procurement Pain Points: Internal Requester Edition As procurement professionals, we've all been there - dealing with internal requesters who don't quite understand our role or the procurement process. Here are some common issues we face: 1. Lack of planning: Requesters often expect us to perform miracles with tight deadlines and limited information. 2. Insufficient specifications: Vague or incomplete requirements make it challenging to source the right goods or services. 3. Unrealistic expectations: Requesters may assume we can negotiate impossible prices or delivery terms. 4. Changing requirements: Scope creep or frequent changes to requirements can derail even the best-laid procurement plans. 5. Lack of communication: Requesters may not keep us informed about project updates or changes, leading to misunderstandings. 6. Unwillingness to use approved suppliers: Requesters may prefer to use non-approved suppliers, which can increase risk and complexity. 7. Inadequate budget planning: Requesters may not fully consider procurement costs or budget constraints. Let's work together to educate our internal requesters and stakeholders about the procurement process and our role.
