Strategic sourcing is a procurement approach that continuously evaluates and optimizes a company's purchasing activities and supplier relationships to reduce costs and improve value, rather than simply buying at the lowest immediate price. Procurement and supply chain professionals analyze spend data, consolidate suppliers, and negotiate long-term contracts to improve quality, reliability, and total cost of ownership. It's a core function within corporate supply chain and operations teams.
