The Implementation of Information Architecture Framework to Support Sustainable Procurement

Sustainable procurement is seen as a new approach in procurement practice as it could reduce damage to the environment by considering whole life cost and value for money. While this approach could benefit in so many ways, buyers require specific information to make informed procurement decision. The information that the buyers need to consider in making decision comes from different sources, either internal or external of the organization. The fact that the amount of information is massive and comes from variety of sources, therefore database approach is not appropriate. Hence, this paper introduces the concept of information architecture to support sustainable procurement. With information architecture in place to support sustainable procurement, it is hope that the most informed decision is made for the organization.
