Project management for procurement is usually divided into four major processes: planning, selection, administering and
closing procurements.
The first part, planning, involves the creation of the official procurement management plan. The decisions made involve
which items will be internally procured and which items will be externally outsourced. This information, in turn, will heavily
impact the project's budget and financial scope. Sample procurement documents will be prepared and criteria frameworks
will be developed to create a selection of potential vendors. This selection matrix is based on the project's scope, schedule,
and requirements. Risk factors and budgetary constraints are also considered.
The selection process involves comparing and contrasting vendors' advantages, disadvantages, and contractual offerings.
Standard tools and techniques are used to select procurements, such as video conferences with bidders that allow them to
understand the project requirements and ask questions. Procurement contracts are decided and awarded through
collaborations between various managers. Resource calendars are then created that detail when, where and how resources
will be used and managed. The corresponding project management plan is adjusted according to resource calendar
updates. Proposals are carefully evaluated and if no satisfactory bids are available, the project management team may
utilize online ads to solicit new bidders.
The third major step is administration, which refers to the tools and processes used to manage relationships with vendors.
The administration phase results in the continual creation of procurement documents and spreadsheets that may drive
project changes. A centralized system of contract change monitoring and control will be used to evaluate and determine
whether potential changes to contracts are needed. There are formal physical inspections, internal audits and reviews of
procurement operations in order to generate synthesized performance reports that provide real-time feedback. The
administration process is extremely important, so it's usually managed through supply chain or project management
software.
The closing process isn't just about ending procurement contracts; it's about noting weaknesses, documenting successful
processes and summarizing the project for future needs. Some companies prefer to conduct simple audits using
performance matrices in order to grade the overall project. Documentation is important for future projects, which may
involve entirely different teams in new locations. During the closing process, negotiations may be necessary to resolve
contract disputes. Ideally, potential issues will be noted during the administration process in order to begin the mediation
process early.
When it comes to project procurement management, there are standard features and functions. For example, most
companies prefer to use a smaller number of suppliers with long-term relationships instead of using a group of suppliers to
outbid each other for the lowest price. Establishing and nurturing relationships with suppliers is important because this
enables various supply chain partners and shareholders to work closely together on improvement and coordination
activities.
