yes there are risk in purchasing process if there are no term and condition follow..If we purchase some materials from supplier without any warranty/garanty and then after some time we find the fault in materials we cant claim on the suppliers. Or we received spare parts or material not same as we order and then they are not in use then we face problem. damage items, delay in deliveries..defectiveness. we have to see the cataloug and submittals.and follow some legal term and conditions  mention on the p.o and  conform from the supplier before supply.

The following points are examples for the risk factors that may affect your procurement processes:

-  risk of information exchange: buyer should review the procurement requisition to make sure that he has a clear and spacific  description for the required item(s). 

- risk of monopoly or false bid: if the buy does not has the  the best sources and authorized vendors to obtain prices. 

- risk of manufacturing defects, damages, low quality: it leads us to the importance for a strong system for vendor pre-qualification and vendor assesment., plus insurance coverages. 

- risk of fluctuation currency or instability economy/market:  buyer preferably relies on fixed price contract

There are several risks may be associated with the procurement process  : -

Non-conformity of the supplied materials required , and can be overcome or reduce them no clear specifications and specific measurement , color and number of the type or Model

Delay in supply of materials for the required date , studying the date of the actual need for the materials and to take this matter into account when you start the process .

Failure to fulfill its obligation to the supplier , especially when it is to pay for the documents ( CAD )  , and reduce them is the existence of it by a clear and correct of approved suppliers list are set on the basis of  and are reviewed periodically , and not to resort to this mechanism order only as a last resort

Damage to the materials supplied , as the value of the company can be downloaded for the supplier to the insurance company ,  the need for materials can resort to express carriers to supply the required if the case warranted it

1 - Delay (Solution : includ that in quantities calculations & forecasts)

2 - Monopoly (Solution : make special payement terms, and repetetive supplier search)
