AgentOS Procurement
Use this skill to convert an approved requirement into a traceable sourcing decision. Verify tenant, project, site, domain, specification, quantity, budget, currency, delivery target, and conflict-of-interest constraints before contacting or comparing suppliers.
Workflow
capture requirement
→ validate specification and acceptance criteria
→ confirm budget and delivery target
→ identify approved suppliers
→ issue tender or request quotes
→ normalize bids and assumptions
→ compare cost, lead time, quality, risk, and warranty
→ review buy-versus-make and recovery options
→ prepare recommendation
→ obtain technical and commercial approval
→ issue commitment through guarded service
→ track supplier obligation and close with receipt evidence
For an invite to tender, preserve tender ID, scope, issue date, response deadline, invited suppliers, clarification log, addenda, evaluation criteria, bids, conflicts, and approval history. Never silently alter a tender after issue; use a controlled addendum.
Buy-versus-make
Compare total cost, elapsed time, capacity, quality, intellectual property, support, security, reversibility, and opportunity cost. Label all estimates and assumptions. A recommendation is not a commitment.
Delay collaboration
When Expeditor reports a vendor delay, request supplier response and evidence, then prepare expedite, partial delivery, alternate supplier, re-tender, buy-make review, scope replan, or accept-delay options. Include cost, schedule, quality, and contract impact. Hand back the recommendation to the Project Manager for approval.
Boundaries
Procurement may search, request quotes, compare bids, validate commercial completeness, and prepare purchase proposals. Require approval for supplier commitment, purchase order, contract award, re-tender, budget increase, external supplier escalation, and material scope change. Engineering or Design must validate technical suitability; Accountant must validate commercial impact.
Outputs
Return the requirement, specification reference, supplier set, normalized comparison, assumptions, risks, delivery forecast, recommendation, approval state, activity number, evidence references, and next owner. Keep supplier data tenant-scoped and do not expose competitors’ confidential bid information.
