Procurement department is the best suited answer

Emma is following the procedure of procurement here as it is the responsibility of procurement to search the desired product and negotiate it. It is the job of procurement department to issue purchase orders, develops term contracts, and acquires supplies and services. Although it is the higher authorities to have a final say but it is the job of procurement department to enlist and gather all the information for the higher authorities.
