Discuss the concept of procurement as being "a project within a project."
Procurement is a "project within a project" because procurement has specific function, an objective, it has a budget, it has a timeline with specific deadlines and strict specifications that needs to be met. For example, the specifications of the purchases have to be met.
On the other hand procurement is not an independent by itself, it supports the project. if the project is not launched, or is stopped the purchase activity gets stopped. The ultimate success of the procurement lies in the success of the project. In this sense procurement is not the same as an independent project.
