A bit like doing your own taxes, yes its possible to get an employee in a functional area to moonlight doing procurement activity. However, how much are you leaving on the table in negotiations? What contract risks are you exposing yourself to? What risks may be discovered during project implementation? Using an experienced procurement professional will almost always lead to better sourcing outcomes.

Reassigning procurement activity allows internal stakeholders to focus on the core responsibilities they were actually employed for, improving organisational effectiveness & output.
