Procurement is the business function responsible for acquiring goods and services, including sourcing, supplier selection, negotiation, contracting, and performance management. Outsourcing is an operating decision to have an external provider perform selected activities. Procurement outsourcing combines both concepts by transferring defined procurement work—such as spend analysis, sourcing, or category management—to a specialized external team while the client retains appropriate strategic oversight.
