parties sit down and hash out the terms.
▪ It's about crafting a deal that's mutually beneficial.
▪ From prices to delivery timelines, everything is up for
discussion.

When is Negotiated Procurement the Best Choice?
▪ Specialized projects: If you're working on a project that
doesn't fit the mould, negotiated procurement can help
you source materials or services that are just right.
▪ Limited suppliers: In industries where suppliers are few or
have niche expertise, direct negotiations ensure you get
the best value and terms.
▪ Complex requirements: For projects that have multiple
layers or intricate details, this method allows for a deep
dive into specifics, ensuring both parties are on the same
page.

▪ Businesses don't just buy from suppliers; they actively
engage with them, offering resources, training, or even
technology to help them improve.
▪ It's a partnership where both parties work hand-in-hand,
aiming for mutual business growth and success.

producer or service provider to make the purchase.
▪ There's no third-party involvement, which means no
additional mark-ups or potential communication barriers.

Disadvantages of Direct Acquisition
▪ Limited market knowledge: Without intermediaries,
businesses might miss out on broader market insights or
better deals.
▪ Increased responsibility: The onus of vetting and
managing suppliers falls entirely on the business.
▪ Narrower supplier base: Direct acquisition often limits the
business to a smaller pool of suppliers, which can reduce
competitive pricing and innovation.

When is Direct Acquisition the Best Choice?
▪ Routine buys: For regular, recurring purchases where the
requirements are well-known, direct acquisition is a no-
brainer.
▪ Clear specifications: When you know exactly what you
want, down to the tiniest detail, it's best to go straight to
the source to ensure your needs are met.
▪ Trusted suppliers: If you've built a strong relationship with
a supplier and trust their quality and reliability, direct
acquisition streamlines the process.

4) Indirect Acquisition
▪ Indirect acquisition is like having a seasoned guide in the
complex world of sourcing.
▪ Businesses collaborate with third parties or
intermediaries, such as agents, brokers, or consultants,
who have the expertise and connections to find the best
suppliers.
▪ These intermediaries navigate the market, negotiate
terms, and often handle logistics, making the acquisition
process smoother.

knowledge and insights, potentially leading to better
deals.
▪ Risk distribution: Using intermediaries can spread the
risks associated with procurement.
▪ Time savings: Intermediaries can handle various
procurement processes, saving businesses time.

Disadvantages of Indirect Acquisition
▪ Additional costs: Intermediaries will have their fees or
mark-ups, potentially increasing costs.
▪ Potential misalignment: Intermediaries might not always
fully align with the business's specific needs or values.
▪ Loss of control: Relying on intermediaries may result in
less direct oversight of the procurement process,
potentially leading to outcomes that don't fully meet the
business's expectations.

When is Indirect Acquisition the Best Choice?
▪ Limited in-house expertise: If your business lacks the
expertise or resources to source directly, an intermediary
can fill that gap.
▪ Diversifying suppliers: When looking to expand or diversify
the supplier base, intermediaries can introduce
businesses to new, vetted suppliers.
▪ Complex markets: In industries or markets that are
intricate or rapidly changing, having an expert
intermediary can be invaluable.

▪ A public-private partnership (PPP) is a collaborative effort
between government entities and private-sector
companies.
▪ The goal? To jointly deliver public services or undertake
significant projects.
▪ By pooling resources and expertise, PPPs aim to achieve
outcomes that might be challenging for either sector to
accomplish independently.

sector roles can sometimes lead to confusion about who is
accountable for various aspects of the project, potentially
complicating project management and outcomes.

When is Public-Private Partnership the Best Choice?
▪ Large-scale projects: Infrastructure developments like
roads, airports, or utilities often require vast resources
and expertise, making them ideal candidates for PPPs.
▪ Specialized services: When a public service requires
specialized knowledge or technology, partnering with a
private entity can bring in the necessary expertise.
▪ Resource allocation: In situations where public funds are
limited, partnering with the private sector can help bridge
the resource gap, ensuring project completion.

recipe that's been passed down through generations - it's
reliable, straightforward, and has stood the test of time.

expectations, letting suppliers compete, and choosing the
best fit based on value or price.
