Procurement is the acquisition of goods or services at the best possible total cost of ownership, in the right quantity and quality, at the right time, in the right place for the direct benefit or use of the governments, corporations, or individuals generally via, but not limited to a contract.

Simple procurement may involve nothing more than repeat purchasing. Complex procurement could involve finding long term partners - or even 'co-destiny' suppliers that might fundamentally commit one organisation to another.

Even simple purchasing can involve trade-offs. What IS the quality required? Are there advantages buying fewer or more items? The timing can be critical. Each supplier may have different attributes, capabilities and values. The total cost of acquisition should be considered alongside the total lifetime cost, not just the purchase price. The physical handling of any products should be considered, with links to methods of transport, logistics and warehousing.

All of my food & nutrition school work, where I'm paid by the Scot govt has been put out to tender. Procurement policy is scary jargon.
