Also known as: Procurement catalogue, Catalog

A procurement catalogue is a curated, priced list of goods and services from approved suppliers that buyers can order from directly.

Catalogues turn negotiated agreements into everyday buying. Because items, specifications and contracted prices are pre-loaded, staff simply select and order — no re-quoting, and pricing stays on-contract. Catalogues can be hosted by the buyer or 'punched out' to the supplier's live catalogue.

A rich catalogue is the single most effective tool against maverick spend, because compliant buying becomes the path of least resistance. Marketplaces provide very broad catalogues — Lapasar's platform lists more than 2 million SKUs across categories — so buyers rarely need to go off-catalogue.

Frequently asked questions

What is a procurement catalogue?
A procurement catalogue is a curated, pre-priced list of goods and services from approved suppliers that staff can order from directly, keeping purchases on-contract.
What is the difference between a hosted and a punchout catalogue?
A hosted catalogue lives inside the buyer's system. A punchout catalogue links out to the supplier's live catalogue, returning the cart to the buyer's system for approval.
