German term or phrase: Bedarfsträger
Ist eine entsprechende Eignung gegeben, wird der in Abbildung 5 dargestellte Prozess eingeleitet und der interne Kunde des betreffenden Ausschreibungsgegenstandes bereits in der Anfangsphase involviert. Dies ist unverzichtbar, da in der Regel nur der Bedarfsträger eine genaue Spezifikation und eventuell vertiefendes Wissen zu den Beschaffungsmärkten als den Hauptbestandteilen der Datensammlung liefern kann und der Einkäufer durch den frühzeitigen Einbezug eventuellen Vorbehalten entgegnen kann.
