implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving supplier
and acquirer relationships.
These requirements cover any procurement and supply of products and services, such
as manufacturing or assembly, business process procurement, software and hardware
components, knowledge process procurement, build-operate-transfer and cloud computing
services.
This document is applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size and nature.

a number of foundational processes or is actively planning to do so. These processes
include, but are not limited to: business management, risk management, operational
and human resources management, and information security.
