It covers every step of the procurement journey from identifying your needs through to approaching suppliers, making orders and managing contracts.
You must comply with its mandatory requirements

That means you must comply with its mandatory requirements every time you engage in procurement activity. You must also make sure your internal policies and controls are consistent with it.
