To obtain suppliers for the muscles from turkey legs, heart of pigs, alligator claws, corn leaves and Kelp from the Chesapeake Bay, the company would need to consider the various legal ramifications of purchasing. There is need for the company to routinely sign purchase orders and contracts which commit them to the specific terms and conditions of purchase orders and contracts. There are several essential elements of a purchase order and they include:

I. The two parties, both the company and the suppliers, must be capable of delivering

II. The subject of the matter must be legal and valid

III. There must be mutual consideration

IV. The parties must reach an agreement by offer and acceptance.

All four elements have to be present for the contract to be legal. If any of the elements is missing it makes the agreement unenforceable before a court of law.

The details of the purchase contract need to be well defined and it should not be carried out in a hasty manner. This is because, once the contract has been approved, there are no changes which can be accepted. In addition to the purchase contract, a purchase requisition should be made available as it specifies the required parts. This is important because the five items which are required by the company are part of a whole and hence the need for the purchase requisition. These contracts are aimed at binding the supplier and the company together and to provide security to the company for a source of their raw materials. Whenever the company requires the raw materials to be supplied, a purchase order has to be created. This provides a records of the details of the raw material to be supplied by the suppliers.

Several elements need to be clarified in the contract to ensure that there are no misunderstandings between the supplier and the company. The first is the quality of the raw materials that the suppliers will supply and this ensures consistency and surety of products the company receives. The second component highlights the cost of the raw materials, that is the price which the suppliers will supply the raw materials per unit. The duration before the raw materials are supplied should also be specified to allow the company to calculate the lead time and avoid running out of raw materials. Finally, the duration of payment should also be outlined in the contract to stipulate the time taken before payment is made.
