Procurement starts the process of converting ideas into reality by purchasing the key services equipment, materials, and contractors that will build the project. This chapter discusses the planning aspects of procurement, including developing a procurement plan and a local economic development plan to guide procurement activities. Innovation can be a key factor in successfully integrating sustainability into major projects. Typically, innovation is seen as a design or engineering function, but procurement is also a critical part of project innovation. One of the key positive benefits that major projects have on local communities is to promote local capacity building and economic development. One of the most overlooked topics for sustainable procurement is managing logistics to minimize negative impacts and find opportunities to create additional benefits for the local community. Negative impacts from bringing equipment, materials, supplies, and people to the project site can range from road safety issues and traffic disruptions to environmental impacts.

Web-enabled business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce enhances inter-organizational coordination and results in transaction cost savings and competitive sourcing opportunities for the buyer organization. However, organizations are unsure if this is an improvement over existing information technology such as EDI. In particular, what is the value of B2B e-commerce to a buyer organization and how to measure this value? What factors most affect the realization of the value of B2B e-commerce? Using the case of Web-based B2B procurement system, we propose a framework to quantify and measure the value of B2B e-commerce system and identify the factors that determine this value. We apply our methodology to help a major mid-western heavy equipment manufacturer evaluate the potential of its Web-based procurement system. Our preliminary results indicate that, even though all stages of B2B procurement is affected by the Web, the value of Web-based procurement is most determined by the process characteristics, organization of business units and the “extended enterprise”.
