After developing product specifications, the next stage in the purchase decision process would be to search and evaluate possible products and suppliers that meet those specifications. This is important in order to find the best options and make an informed decision. Once this stage is completed, the next stages include selecting a product/supplier and ordering the products, evaluating product and supplier performance, and potentially making a repeat purchase.
