Creating a Suitable Procurement Budget for your Business

By CIO Applications| Thursday, June 25, 2020

A company's procurement budget speaks a lot about its purchasing strategy. It decides what is affordable and what is not. A procurement budget also acts as a warning system, identifying when overspending occurs and affects the procurement process

Fremont, CA: Budgeting is one of the most essential and challenging aspects of an organization. Traditionally, the role of the procurement department was restricted to just acquisition. They were never a part of the budgeting meetings, nor did they have a say in the cost allocations. However, these traditional methods have changed significantly in the modern age of business. Procurement professionals are now an integral part of the budgeting process. In fact, many organizations are now allowing procurement departments to design their own budget and considering the same as the organization-wide budget.

A company's procurement budget speaks a lot about its purchasing strategy. It decides what is affordable and what is not. A procurement budget also acts as a warning system, identifying when overspending occurs and affects the procurement process. It ensures transparency across departments and holds the procurement department accountable for its expenses. A procurement budget also provides appropriate resource allocations to procurement projects. Data from the procurement budget, such as spend trends, can help make better decisions.

Here are a few tips for creating a good procurement budget

Identifying the Goods and Services Needed

The first step is to identify exactly what goods and services are needed. These can range from office supplies to furniture to products sold by the company. Once the 'what' is identified, its time to figure out the 'how much.' This gives a rough idea of the cost of these goods and services. Compare the prices to what you are willing to spend and make changes to your requirements accordingly. If the cost exceeds the budget, prioritize your needs.

Research on your Vendor Options

Look for potential vendors. In most cases, the first vendor you meet with may not be the best. Keep your doors open for more options. The more vendors you meet, the more likely you are to strike a better deal. Find a vendor with the right mix of quality, reputation, customer service, and most importantly, pricing. Do not hesitate to negotiate.

Stick to your Budget

Your budget should be like your principles. Once you have established your budget, do not try to exceed it. A purchasing officer should be aware of the budget available for purchasing an item and find options accordingly. Put your foot down with the vendor. Make it clear to them your budget and that you are not willing to spend a single penny more.

Like any business, technology has had a significant impact on the budgeting process as well. Leverage the latest tools available in the market to make your procurement process smoother and more efficient.
