Department · IAEA GSR Part 2
Commercial
Scope
Procurement and supply chain, contract lifecycle, supplier qualification, JV and partner commercial governance. The function that owns the boundary between the company and the third parties it depends on.
The reframing
"Procurement is not the work — it is one slice of the work. Commercial owns supplier capability assurance (Element 3), contractor risk (Element 5), supplier KPIs (Element 9) and contract assurance (Element 10) just as much as it owns tenders and contracts (Element 7). Treating Commercial as 'the people who buy things' guarantees the supplier base will be a source of risk the management system cannot see."
