Operational procurement is the process of acquiring goods and services to meet the operational needs of an organization. This type of procurement typically involves the purchase of goods and services related to the day-to-day operations of the organization, such as office supplies, technology, and maintenance services.
Outsourcing operational procurement can be profitable because it allows an organization to focus on their core competencies and reduce costs. By outsourcing operational procurement, organizations can take advantage of economies of scale, access to a larger pool of resources, and access to more specialized expertise. Additionally, outsourcing operational procurement can help reduce the risk of potential legal issues, such as non-compliance with laws and regulations.
The advantages of outsourcing operational procurement include cost savings, access to specialized expertise, improved quality of products and services, and improved efficiency. Outsourcing can also help organizations reduce their administrative burden and focus on their core competencies. Additionally, outsourcing can help organizations access new technologies and markets, and improve customer service.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
In most companies, the initiators of purchases - administrative departments, IT departments, marketing, etc. - are themselves involved in operational purchasing. They act as customers and performers at the same time, which often leads to abuse. The picture is as follows: they order, they buy, and they report to themselves.
On the surface all is well, but if you dig around, you will find that the supplier was asked for goods beyond the current contract at an inflated price. Another scenario is that the supplier, seeing that no one is checking, has long ago changed the prices, and they do not match the contractual. Thus, the savings from sourcing are lost altogether or are partially realized.
This does not always happen out of malice on the part of employees. Procurement is just an afterthought for them. They have no time to go into contract terms and monitor performance. They have no time and no incentive to reduce costs. But that's all we do, because we are interested in cost reduction - we get a percentage of the money saved.
