The objectives of the procurement process are to obtain the goods and services for a project in accordance with the technical/quality, schedule, cost, and other performance objectives of a project.
The broad objectives of the procurement process for any size project are the same. It is necessary to adequately control the technical/quality, schedule, and cost performance of the suppliers and contractors on any type or size of project.
