Competitive tendering seems like it could really enhance buying power, but I wonder if it always guarantees the best outcomes.

Call-off contracts sound familiar, but I can't quite recall how they specifically apply to leverage items.

I remember practicing a question about e-procurement and how it can streamline the purchasing process. That might be a strong choice here.

I think developing long-term relationships is important, but I'm not sure if it's the best option for leverage items.
