What is procurement management?


Procurement is a formal process to obtain goods
and services.
Most companies have a department to handle
and control procurements. It might be called
procurement or contracting or purchasing or the
legal department.
When the work on a particular contract is
complete, that procurement is closed. There can
be many closures during a project.

Elements of the Project Management Plan used to
develop the procurement management plan include, at
least the scope baseline contents:
Project Scope Statement, including the scope description,
service description and result description, list of deliverables,
acceptance criteria, and important information regarding
technical issues or concerns that might affect cost estimating.
It might also include some constraints such as required
delivery dates, available skilled resources, and organizational
policies.
WBS contains the components of work that might be sourced
externally
WBS dictionary, identifies deliverables and describes the work
in each WBS component to produce each deliverable

Plan Procurement Management Tools and


techniques
Make or Buy Analysis is a general management
technique. Should the project team do the work or
should it be outsourced.
The capability might exist in house but the resources may
not be available.
Should consider all related costsboth direct and
indirect. (It costs money to find and work with sellers.)
Available contract types should be considered depending
on need to share risks. Sometimes contract type is
dictated by law.

Plan Procurement Management Tools and

Expert Judgment may be used to develop or modify
the criteria used to evaluate seller proposals.
Expert legal judgment may assist with unique
procurement issues, terms, and conditions.

Business and technical expertise, can be applied to


both the technical details of the acquired products,
service, or results, and to various aspects of the
procurement management processes.

Market Research includes looking at industry and
specific vendor/seller capabilities.
Procurement teams may leverage information gained
at conferences, online reviews, and a variety of
sources to identify market capabilities.
Teams may also refine particular procurement
objectives to leverage maturing technologies while
balancing risks associated with the breadth of
vendors who can provide the materials or services
desired.

Procurement Management Plan, a component
of the Project Management Plan, covers how the
project team will acquire goods and services
from outside the organization. It describe how
the procurement processes will be managed
from developing procurement documents
through contract closure.
The plan can be formal/informal, broad or
detailed, depending on the needs of the project.

Procurement Statement of Work (SOW) for each
procurement is developed from the project scope
baseline.
Defines only that portion of the project scope that is to be
included within the related contract.
Must include sufficient detail to allow prospective sellers
to decide whether they can provide the product, service,
or result, for example, specifications, quantity desired,
quality levels, performance data, period of performance,
work location, etc.

baseline.
Must be clear, complete, and concise.
Describes any collateral services required such as
performance reporting or post-project operational
support.
In some application areas, there may be specific content
and format requirements for a procurement SOW.
The SOW can evolve until its incorporated into a signed
agreement.

Procurement Documents are used to solicit
proposals from prospective sellers.
Terms such as bid, tender, or quot(atation) are
generally used when the selection decision will be
based on price. Terms such as proposal are generally
used when other criteria will be used.

Procurement Documents are used to solicit
proposals from prospective sellers.
Complexity and level of detail should reflect the value of
and risks associated with the planned procurement.
Should be flexible enough to allow consideration of seller
suggestions for better ways to satisfy the same
requirements.
Issuing any invitation to sellers is normally done in
accordance with the polices of the buyers organization,
which might include publication in public newspapers,
trade journals, public registries, or the Internet.

Source Selection Criteria are developed and used
to rate or score seller proposals. They can be
objective or subjective. May include on the
purchase price and ancillary expenses such as
delivery if the desired item is readily available
from several acceptable sellers.

Source Selection Criteria are developed and used to
rate or score seller proposals. Typical criteria for
more complex requirements include:
Understanding of need: How well does the sellers
proposal address the procurement SOW?
Overall or life-cycle cost: Will the selected seller produce
the lowest TCO?
Technical capability: Does the seller have or is it able to
develop the technical skills and knowledge needed to
ensure a successful project?
Risk: How much risk is embedded in the SOW? How much
is assigned to seller? How does the seller mitigate it?

Plan Procurement Management Important tips


The most common procurement documents are RFP
(request for proposal) and RFQ (request for
quote/quotation.)
In most cases, procurement is competitive.
Sometimes work is so specialized that there is only
one potential seller (a noncompetitive bid situation.)
Sellers might need a lot of time to respond to a
request; the project manager must take this time
into account.
Organizations might use different methods to select
a seller. Sometimes the method is dictated by law.

Plan Procurement Management Important tips


An agreement generally encompasses documents or
communications that outline internal or external relationships
and their intentions.
A contract is typically created with an external entity. There is an
exchange of goods or services for some kind of compensation.
It can be written or verbal.
It forms the legal relationship between the entities.
It is mutually binding.
It provides a framework for how failure by one side will be
addressed and ultimately remedied in court.
A contract is an agreement but not necessarily vice versa.

All aspects of a contract are negotiable.
Project managers should be assigned on both the
buyer and seller side before a contract is signed.
Every project manager should know how to create,
read, and manage contracts.
The three main contract types are
Fixed price (FP)
Time and Material (T&M)
Cost reimbursable (CR)

Incentives can be added to any contract type.
