Procurement management plays a vital role in the successful delivery of projects, particularly in sectors such as construction, infrastructure, and public services. It involves the systematic process of acquiring goods, works, and services from external sources in a manner that ensures value for money, transparency, and accountability. In Sri Lanka, procurement management is governed by the Government Procurement Guidelines (2006, with subsequent amendments) and the latest Procurement Manuals updated up to 2024/2025. These frameworks provide structured procedures to ensure that procurement activities are conducted efficiently and ethically while minimizing risks and disputes.
