Describe the components and process of a communication system in a procurement context.

The system typically includes a sender who initiates the message, a receiver who gets the message, the message itself (the information being conveyed), and the channel through which the message travels.

The sender encodes the message into a transmittable form, which is then sent via a chosen channel. The receiver decodes the message to understand it.

Feedback is the receiver's response, indicating comprehension or further action. Noise refers to any interference (e.g., technical issues, misunderstandings) that can disrupt the clarity of the message. The entire process occurs within a specific context, such as a formal procurement process or an internal team discussion.
