»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Why Outsource?
o reduce both fixed and recurrent costs
o allow the client organization to focus on its core business
o access skills and technologies
o provide flexibility
»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Contracts
contract is a mutually binding agreement that obligates the seller to provide

the specified products or services and obligates the buyer to pay for them
ontracts can clarify responsibilities and sharpen focus on key deliverables of a

project
ecause contracts are legally binding, there is more accountability for delivering
the work as stated in the contract

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Project Procurement Management Processes

● Project procurement management: acquiring goods and services for a project
from outside the performing organization
● Processes include:
⌂ Planning procurements: determining what to procure, when, and how
⌂ Conducting procurements: obtaining seller responses, selecting sellers, and awarding
contracts
⌂ Administering procurements: managing relationships with sellers, monitoring contract
performance, and making changes as needed
⌂ Closing procurements: completing and settling each contract, including resolving of any
open items

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Project Procurement Management Summary

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Planning Procurements
● Identifying which project needs can best be met by using products or services
outside the organization
● If there is no need to buy any products or services from outside the

organization, then there is no need to perform any of the other procurement
management processes

Tools and Techniques for Planning Purchases »Dr. Waqas Ahmed
and Acquisitions
ake-or-buy analysis: general management technique used to determine whether

an organization should make or perform a particular product or service inside the
organization or buy from someone else
ften involves financial analysis
xperts, both internal and external, can provide valuable inputs in procurement
decisions
»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Make-or-Buy Example
● Assume you can lease an item you need for a project for $800/day; to purchase
the item, the cost is $12,000 plus a daily operational cost of $400/day
● How long will it take for the purchase cost to be the same as the lease cost?

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Make-or-Buy Solution
et up an equation so both options, purchase and lease, are equal
n this example, use the following equation; let d be the number of days to
use the item:
$12,000 + $400d = $800d
Subtracting $400d from both sides, you get:
$12,000 = $400d
Dividing both sides by $400, you get:
d = 30
f you need the item for more than 30 days, it is more economical to
purchase it

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Types of Contracts
● Different types of contracts can be used in different situations:
⌂ Fixed price or lump sum contracts: involve a fixed total price for a well-defined
product or service
⌂ Cost reimbursable contracts: involve payment to the seller for direct and indirect
costs
⌂ Time and material contracts: hybrid of both fixed price and cost reimbursable
contracts, often used by consultants
⌂ Unit price contracts: require the buyer to pay the seller a predetermined amount
per unit of service
● A single contract can actually include all four of these categories if it
makes sense for that particular procurement
»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Fixed Price Contract
A fixed price contract the cost constant regardless

of effort applied or delivery date.
»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Cost Reimbursable Contract
In a cost reimbursable or cost plus contract, the

seller is guaranteed a fee.

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Time and Materials
In a time and materials contract the cost (or revenue

to the vendor) increases with increased effort.

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Point of Total Assumption
he Point of Total Assumption (PTA) is the cost at which the contractor assumes
total responsibility for each additional dollar of contract cost
ontractors do not want to reach the point of total assumption because it hurts them
financially, so they have an incentive to prevent cost overruns
he PTA is calculated with the following formula:

PTA = (ceiling
price – target price)/government share + target cost © Dr. Waqas Ahmed 17
»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Fixed-price-incentive-fee (FPIF) contract with firm target
Point of total assumption is when

the cost reaches $10,928.
At this point, the final price of
$11,500 is reached.

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Cost Reimbursable Contracts

● Cost plus incentive fee (CPIF): the buyer pays the supplier for allowable
performance costs plus a predetermined fee and an incentive bonus
● Cost plus fixed fee (CPFF): the buyer pays the supplier for allowable
performance costs plus a fixed fee payment usually based on a percentage of
estimated costs
● Cost plus percentage of costs (CPPC): the buyer pays the supplier for
allowable performance costs plus a predetermined percentage based on total
costs

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Contract Types versus Risk

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Contract Clauses
ontracts should include specific clauses that take into account issues that are
unique to the project
an require various educational or work experience for different pay rights
termination clause is a contract clause that allows the buyer or supplier to end
the contract

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Procurement Management Plan
escribes how the procurement processes will be managed, from developing

documentation for making outside purchases or acquisitions to contract closure
ontents vary based on project needs

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Contract Statement of Work (SOW)
statement of work is a description of the work required for the procurement
f a SOW is used as part of a contract to describe only the work required for that
particular contract, it is called a contract statement of work
SOW is a type of scope statement
good SOW gives bidders a better understanding of the buyer’s expectations

Procurement Documents
● Request for Proposals: used to solicit proposals from prospective sellers
⌂ A proposal is a document prepared by a seller when there are different
approaches for meeting buyer needs
● Requests for Quotes: used to solicit quotes or bids from prospective
suppliers
⌂ A bid, also called a tender or quote (short for quotation), is a document
prepared by sellers providing pricing for standard items that have been
clearly defined by the buyer

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Request for Proposal (RFP) Template

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Evaluation Criteria
t’s important to prepare some form of evaluation criteria, preferably before issuing
a formal RFP or RFQ
eware of proposals that look good on paper; be sure to evaluate factors, such as
past performance and management approach
an require a technical presentation as part of a proposal

ways:

Administering Procurements
● Ensures that the seller’s performance meets contractual requirements
● Contracts are legal relationships, so it is important that legal and contracting

professionals be involved in writing and administering contracts

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Suggestions for Change Control in Contracts
● Changes to any part of the project need to be reviewed, approved, and

documented by the same people in the same way that the original part of the
plan was approved
● Evaluation of any change should include an impact analysis;
⌂ how will the change affect the scope, time, cost, and quality of the goods or services being
provided?
● Changes must be documented in writing; project team members should also

document all important meetings and telephone phone calls

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Closing Procurements
nvolves completing and settling contracts and resolving any open items
he project team should:

⌂ Determine if all work was completed correctly and satisfactorily
⌂ Update records to reflect final results
⌂ Archive information for future use

»Dr. Waqas Ahmed

system will meet business needs and work in an operational environment
ave backup plans

⌂ a contract change control system,

Using Software to Assist in Project Procurement »Dr. Waqas Ahmed
Management
● Word processing software helps write proposals and contracts, spreadsheets

help evaluate suppliers, databases help track suppliers, and presentation

● Organizations also use other Internet tools to find information on suppliers or
auction goods and services
