How are differing specifications within a group of Purchase Partners handled?
Once a partner has identified their needs/specifications via the Program Requirements Form the Team organises group meetings to discuss these specifications. During the meetings it is up to the discretion of each potential partner to negotiate whether certain specifications can be relaxed or altered for the benefit of the group. Sometimes the specifications are so varied that more than one capture, solution or product is required. The Program then moves to the next stage of requesting quotes for the products decided upon.
