It is simply part of the total supply chain. I've had companies I worked for where they were separate and never worked well. Having them under legal or anything else is beyond me as a professional as such an anchoring doesn't allow sourcing/procurement to deliver the best they can.
The legal T's & C's of the vendor contract is only one piece of procurement body of work. The performance management of the vendor, the relationship management of the vendor, and the market analysis & response to the market reviews are much larger pieces of procurement than the contract itself. Unless vendors are constantly deviating from the contract verbiage & you need to hold vendors accountable to the document constantly, the business (supply chain team) is who has the most skin in the game with procurement and should own.
