Category Management is a structured approach to the procurement of goods and services. It applies best practice tools and techniques in the development and implementation of an integrated category strategy aligned to the organisation’s needs.

It applies a robust structured strategic sourcing process to the purchase of all goods and services and involves local stakeholders in the sourcing process of a group of items or services available from the same or a similar supplier base.

This Procurement Category Strategy Template is used to identify the category strategy steps and process for identifying the required information.
