Indirect Procurement

Indirect procurement refers to the process of acquiring goods and services that are not directly tied to a company's core business operations but are necessary for its support and functioning. This includes items like office supplies, IT services, maintenance, and marketing materials. Unlike direct procurement, which focuses on raw materials for products, indirect procurement ensures that employees have the tools and resources they need to do their jobs effectively. Efficient indirect procurement helps improve overall business performance and can lead to cost savings and better vendor relationships.
