It's common to all large organisations. Because large organisations get like this; if everyone does their own procurement then money gets misused, wasted, and becomes uncontrolled. So they centralise procurement, and that disconnects it from the people who understand what they're buying, so they have to control it through process, and the process bloats until we get to this point.
One of the many, many, arguments for not allowing organisations to get this big.

Still it does not need to be this way. Large organisations used to actually get s** done generally in budget and on time. Now we can’t even do a simple tasks without mountains of paper work and cash. I know, my partner used to work in a related industry, it’s painful to hear their stories.
