A material procurement apparatus prepares specifications of materials to be procured and a format utilized at the time material suppliers prepare quotation, and stores the specifications and the format in a storage. Then, the apparatus sends a request for quotation to the material suppliers, and requests the material suppliers to access a specifications storage and a format storage and download requested specifications and format so as to prepare replies for the quotation request. Thereafter, results of the quotation received from maker terminals are stored in a quotation data storage. A data synthesizing unit in the material procurement apparatus synthesizes a plurality of quotation results and the format, and prepares a table for the quotation results. This table is presented to the material buyer so as to support the material buyer in determining a material supplier.
