The purchase decision stage is when the buyer evaluates the available options and selects a supplier based on specific criteria, including quality, quantity, delivery time, and price. This stage comes after the information search and alternative audit stages, where the buyer gathers information about potential suppliers and assesses their strengths and weaknesses. The procurement analysis and break-even analysis stages precede the purchase decision stage and involve analyzing the costs and benefits of different procurement strategies and options.
