Procurement acquires the resources your organization needs, while contract management builds and sustains a healthy and collaborative relationship with your supplier throughout the term of your contract.
Legality: A contract is a legal document and a PO is a commercial document. To elaborate, a PO is an offer from the buyer to the supplier. If accepted by the supplier (within a reasonable timeframe) the PO becomes a contract. Logically, this PO will have zero value if it's not accepted by the supplier.
