Once a requisition or project plan is received determining an actual requirement, the
procurement officer is then responsible for developing the individual procurement plan. The
scope of the individual procurement plan will depend on the complexity of the requirement.
While it is good practice to always make a plan, in the case of low risk/low spend requirements
the plan should be simple, but should include an overview of the necessary steps of the process
and associated timeline. At the other end of the scale, managing the procurement of an extremely
high risk/high spend requirement is in fact project management and should entail a thorough and
comprehensive planning process.
