One of the 'benefits' of the creation of organisations large enough to have procurement manuals is that individuals can be replaced in their posts by others. This is part of the basis of Weber's theory of bureaucracy. Charles Handy, a great UK management writer tells a story of how he took up a new post for a large oil company, and on his office door the job title was affixed permanently, but his own name was presented in a readily-replaceable label. He realised when he saw this how easily his employer thought he could be replaced.
Thus, procurement manuals are unlikely to name individual staff members - policies and procedures, posts and activities, yes.
