- Step 2 - Definition and agreement on BUPA's business requirements relevant to the specific category expenditure.
- Step 3 - Developing the sourcing strategy and purchasing plan capable of reducing costs and driving value.
- Step 4 - Preparing for the supplier selection process, negotiation, selecting the supplier and contract award.
