What is the difference between strategic procurement and tactical procurement?

Strategic Procurement – Focuses on the alignment of the procurement function with the strategic objectives of organizations relative to existing constraints and core competencies in response to SWOT and Environmental Scanning Analysis. KPIs are focused solely on successfully meeting organizational mandates

Tactical Procurement – Focuses on the nuts and bolts day-to-day activities of the procurement function. The goal here is to maintain the supply streams and to keep the supply chain running.
