About this template

This procurement policy template is built for small to mid-sized teams who need structure without the bureaucracy. It gives you a clear, flexible framework to define how your organization buys goods, services, and works, without writing a policy from scratch.

What’s inside:

  • Procurement thresholds and sourcing methods
  • Roles and approval responsibilities
  • Conflict of interest rules
  • Supplier management guidance
  • Record-keeping and compliance expectations

Why use this template?

Most small teams manage purchasing through emails, spreadsheets, and gut feel, until things break. This template helps you avoid approval chaos, vendor confusion, and audit headaches.
