- a specific requirement is identified, in which case is it necessary to ensure that the need is genuine and cannot be satisfied in some other way
- a review of historical payments to a supplier, group of suppliers may suggest that there is a need
- to investigate and formalise the procurement process with a view to obtaining improved terms and value for money- to consider the suitability of the area of expenditure for a co-ordinated procurement either within the institution itself, with other local institutions or at consortia or national level.
