The importance of coordinating procurement activities, establishing firm contract deliverables, and metrics in measuring procurement activities is included.

The Project Manager will work with the project team to identify all items to be procured for the successful completion of the project. The Project Management Office (PMO) will then review the procurement list prior to submitting it to the contracts and purchasing department.

TYPE OF C ONTRACT TO BE U SED

All items and services to be procured for this project will be solicited under firm-fixed price contracts. The project team will work with the contracts and purchasing department to define the item types, quantities, services and required delivery dates. The contracts and purchasing department will then solicit bids from various vendors in order to procure the items within the required time frame and at a reasonable cost under the firm fixed price contract once the vendor is selected.

C ONTRACT APPROVAL PROCESS

The first step in the contract approval process is to determine what items or services will require procurement from outside vendors. This will be determined by conducting a cost analysis on products or services which can be provided internally and compared with purchase prices from vendors. Once cost analyses are complete and the list of items and services to be procured externally is finalized, the purchasing and contracts department will send out solicitations to outside vendors. Once solicitations are complete and proposals have been received by all vendors the approval process begins. The first step of this process is to conduct a review of all vendor proposals to determine which meet the criteria established by the project team and the purchasing and contracts department. Purchases less than Rs 1,000 only require the approval of the Project Manager; whereas, purchases greater than Rs 1,000 must be approved by the Contract Review Board. For these larger purchase the contract review board will meet to determine which contract will be accepted. The Contract Review Board consists of representatives from the project team, purchasing and contracts department, finance, and the PMO.

D ECISION CRITERIA

The criteria for the selection and award of procurement contracts under this project will be based on the following decision criteria:

  • Ability of the vendor to provide all items by the required delivery date
  • Quality
  • Cost
  • Expected delivery date
  • Comparison of outsourced cost versus in-sourcing
  • Past performance
