1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Procurement Management Plan is to define the procurement requirements for the
project and how it will be managed from developing procurement documentation through contract
closure.
This Procurement Management Plan sets the procurement framework for this project. It is a guide for
managing procurement throughout the life of the project and will be updated as needs change.
BSBPMG518 Manage project procurement Version 18 August 2020
The Project Manager will approach the project team to determine what the procurement management
needs are so that it is easier to manage and control. The Manager will also signal the required products
BSBPMG518 Manage project procurement Version 18 August 2020
to the team leader of this project and the team leader will develop the suppliers (if it is good for the
project) in relation to the beginning of the service contracting process.
Provide a summary of the specific steps of the make/buy analysis which influenced this project rationale
- Assess the skills necessary to do the task with your in-house resources;
- Look for training courses to develop your staff or recruit a new permanent or temporary
member of staff with the right skills;
- Assess the time needed to perform each task;
- Compare the costs of doing the work either internally or externally;
- Get testimonials about previous works;

Surveys of satisfaction and evaluation of the deliveries of the suppliers will be carried out to
assess whether they are meeting the needs of the project. Assessment of compliance with the delivery
deadline will also be made. From all the feedback received and data evaluation, Project Manager can
take some actions according to the agreed contract if necessary.
4. PROCUREMENT RISKS
The project risks will be managed in accordance with the project’s risk management plan. However, for
risks related specifically to procurement, there will be additional consideration and involvement by the
project team. In this case, the project team will include the Project Manager and Project Sponsor in all
project meetings and status reviews.
Any issues concerning newly identified risks must be communicated to the project’s contracting
department point of contact as well as the Project Sponsor.
6. COST DETERMINATION
The cost of each project activity is estimated in the estimate costs process. An interesting point about
this process is that it uses the same tools as in the estimate activity duration.
In the estimate activity duration process, you determine the time taken by each activity. Now, in the
estimate costs process, you will calculate the total cost of the project.
In estimate cost process, the cost of each activity is determined, including the cost of human hours, the
cost of equipment, and the cost of materials used as well as the contingency cost (i.e., the cost to cover
the identified risks).
The cost determination tool to be used in this project is RFP - Request for Proposal;
This method has been chosen as being most appropriate because is a type that is used for projects that
require greater purchasing complexity and that helps a lot in comparing supplier responses.
requested by the company, previous experiences with similar projects and the response to the request
requested by the company containing prices and order fulfillment time.
Tool Used for these vendor types Reason for using this tool
Getting Quotes All suppliers To get the best price;
Designing Contracts All suppliers To define terms and conditions;
Expression of Interest All suppliers To indicate the serious interest from
(EOI) project’s side and that the project
would be interested to pay a certain
valuation and acquire the seller's
company through a formal offer;
Service level agreements: for the vendor to be successful in selling his product to the company it is
necessary that both companies (both on the part of the seller and on the part of the buyer) have an
acceptance level previously agreed in the contract and understood by all who signed it.
Offer & Acceptance: the product that the selected supplier offers has to be on terms of our project
before we accept it (the intent to purchase);
Specifications and performance requirements: it is necessary that at the time of delivery, the product
contains a report that describes its specifications and performance according to the request made at the
time of product purchase.
Contract closure processes: All contracts must contain a contract closure process and must be adhered
to by both parties until the end, unless one of the parties withdraws from the contract before it ends.
Signature: The science and understanding of both parties is necessary. For this to be signed, the
signature is a formal form that both parties are aware of.
Scope: All activities must be performed and managed with current personnel as per plan.
Time: Technology requirements have already been previously established and will be included in the
statement of work as part of the RFP. While proposals may include suggested alternative material, parts
specifications must match those provided in the statement of work.
Cost: project budget has contingency and management reserves built in; however, these reserves may not
be applied to procurement activities. Reserves are only to be used in the event of an approved change in
project scope or at management’s discretion;
All information must be included in each proposal as the proposals will be used as the foundation of our
selection criteria. Proposals which omit solicited information or contain incomplete information will be
discarded from consideration.
7. STANDARDISED DOCUMENTATION
The purpose of this section is to describe what standardised documentation will be used as part of the
procurement.
We will use standard documentation for all steps of the procurement management process. These
standard documents have been developed and revised over a period of many years in an effort to
continually improve procurement efforts. They provide adequate levels of detail which allows for easier
comparison of proposals, more accurate pricing, more detailed responses, and more effective management
of contracts and vendors.
The PMO maintains a repository on the company’s shared drive which contains standard project
management and procurement documentation that will be used for this project.
The following standard documents will be used for project procurement activities:
- Price of goods/services;
- Method of payment and payment schedule;
- Suppliers responsibilities;
- Organisation’s responsibilities;
- Delivery method and schedule
- Refund/returns policy;
- Cancellation policy
- Warranty;
- Definitions of terms in contract ;
- Application of the terms and conditions.
8. PROCUREMENT CONSTRAINTS
The purpose of this section is to describe any constraints which must be considered as part of the
project’s procurement management process. These constraints may be related to schedule, cost, scope,
resources, technology, buyer/seller relationships and project or organisational probity and governance
BSBPMG518 Manage project procurement Version 18 August 2020
standards . As constraints are identified, they will be considered in every step of the procurement
activities. Every effort will be made to identify all constraints prior to the project or procurement
planning as constraints identified later in the project lifecycle can significantly impact the project’s
likelihood of success.
Several constraints have been identified for this project and are considered in the project’s procurement
management plan. These constraints will be included in the RFP and communicated to all vendors in order
to determine their ability to operate within these constraints. These constraints are outlined below.
Constraint Details
Cost Even though the project’s budget and schedule have contingency and
management reserves built in; these should be put used only in extremes
situations, like a change request. Therefore, all risks have to be mitigated in order
to avoid using the contingency.
Quality All procurement activities and contract awards must support the approved project
scope statement. Any other procurement activities not previously specified will
be discarded and considered out of scope.
Scope All activities must be performed and managed with current personnel as per plan.
Time Constructions requirements have already been previously established and will be
included in the statement of work as part of the RFP. While proposals may
include suggested alternative material, parts specifications must match those
provided in the statement of work.
This section defines the process through which contracts must be approved.
BSBPMG518 Manage project procurement Version 18 August 2020
Selection and award of procurement contracts under this project will be based on the following general
conditions, legal obligations and decision criteria.
Decision criteria
- The selected company must contain the best price compared to at least two other quotations;
- For contracting materials, companies must deliver the products with the guarantees / reports of
the products they are delivering;
- The companies must contain all the certifications requested for each type of service and their
employees must also have the certifications if necessary;
- The company winning the selection process must present a certification that the employees who
will be working have already had experience with some other project of the same style that this
project is carrying out.
These criteria will be measured by the Experience, Skill levels and Industry and professional
certifications. Decisions will be based on these criteria as well as available resources.
The contract management team together with the project manager will hold meetings as often as
described by each contract and for each contract winner. The Project Manager will be responsible for
BSBPMG518 Manage project procurement Version 18 August 2020
assessing the need for the action plans discussed at the meetings and putting them into practice until
the next meeting. The supplier has the function of notifying the company if the contract is not being
managed in the manner agreed during the contracting process. Just as the contract management
team has the function of alerting the supplier and the project manager to the progress of the
contracts as agreed. If there is a breach of the clauses of the contracts, both parties may suffer
penalties previously approved in each contract.
The following tools will be used to monitor project procurement activities across the project
Contract change control system: this tool defines the process by which the procurement can be
modified. In the event of a change in this procedure, the change must be formalized;
BSBPMG518 Manage project procurement Version 18 August 2020
Inspections and audits: the procurement contract shall contain periodic inspections and audits as
described in the contracts;
Payment system: The supplier's payment process will be done after the validation of a team member
and evaluation of the project manager using the form described in each contract;
Records management system: this tool is used by the project manager to control the processes, the
functions described and automatic tools for the company to contain a history of the project.
Employee disputes are usually best resolved between employees and supervisors themselves,
informally. However, it is important that companies are aware that there may be situations where the
formal process will be requested, in a more agile and beneficial way in resolving the case.
The purpose of this policy is to provide an opportunity for company employees to resolve disputes
internally arising from issues relating to the Progressive Discipline Policy (including termination of
employment) or other policies. This policy does not include concerns about performance feedback or a
written performance review. Employees who use this process in good faith will be protected from any
retaliatory actions, such as reprimands or harassment.
