TFM Conducting Survey On Procurement Guidelines Practices

Procurement is the acquisition of goods and/or services at the best possible total cost of ownership, in the right quantity and quality, at the right time (as defined by Wikipedia.org). By establishing policies on Procurement Guidelines for its facilities’ needs, an organization increases the probability of acquiring goods and/or services that meet performance and other requirements, at the best (though not always lowest) possible price.

Through a survey, which is online now, TFM would like to hear from facility managers about how they use (or don't use) procurement guidelines. We will include the results in the August 2008 issue.

Thank you,
