What is procurement intelligence?
Procurement intelligence is the buyer-side work of understanding supplier capability, cost drivers, lead-time risk, documentation gaps, warranty terms and commercial assumptions before an equipment purchase decision is made.
For renewable energy projects, it helps buyers avoid late supplier discovery, weak RFQs, unrealistic delivery assumptions and price comparisons that ignore scope or bankability.
