Net Value refers to the total value received from a procurement process after subtracting all costs and losses associated with acquiring goods or services. It encapsulates both the direct financial benefits and the broader strategic advantages such as risk mitigation, supplier innovation, and sustainable practices, providing a comprehensive assessment of the procurement’s overall impact on the organization.
