I don't know, guys. Seems like a lot of work. Can't Tim just flip a coin and call it a day? Heads, we save money. Tails, we spend more. Easy peasy!

Hold up, what about an ITT? Isn't that like a formal invitation to tender? That could work too, right?

Tim could also consider setting up a competitive bidding process to ensure the best prices for the goods and services.

Well, Tim could go for a Contract, but that might be a bit too specific. A Framework seems more flexible and comprehensive.

Hmm, I'm not sure. An Audit might be a good idea to assess the current procurement practices first, before setting up any new systems.
