Data Gathering
Market Research:
• The process of gathering information at conferences, online
reviews, & variety of sources to identify market capabilities.
Plan Proc. Manag. ->T&T->Data Gathering -> Market Research
Examination of industry & specific vendor capabilities
Leverage information gained to identify market capabilities.
Team may refine procurement objectives to leverage maturing technologies.

Data analysis
Make-or-buy analysis:
•Gathering data about product requirements & analyse them against available
alternatives including purchase or internal manufacture.
•Use Payback period, ROI, IRR, Discounted cash flow, NVP & BCA techniques.
•Capacity and Capability
•Exploit Opportunity
•Shift risk (cost, time, or
scope)
Reasons to Buy
•Idle resources
•Want to control
•Confidential information
Reasons to Make
Plan Proc. Manag. ->T&T-> Data analysis -> Make-or-buy analysis
Buy Make

Data analysis
•Gathering data about product requirements & analyse them against available
alternatives including purchase or internal manufacture.
•Use Payback period, ROI, IRR, Discounted cash flow, NVP & BCA techniques.
Major factor to consider in the decision:
Schedule Budget Cost Skills
Proprietary
information
Contract
type
It is important to consider scope of Make vs Buy Analysis
Renting or leasing is good, if it is one time need
Purchasing is good, when it is long term requirement
Buy
RentLease

Data analysis
•Gathering data about product requirements & analyse them against
available alternatives including purchase or internal manufacture.
•Use Payback period, ROI, IRR, Discounted cash flow, NVP & BCA
techniques.
How to calculate breakeven point
Cost Categories Make
(in-house)
Buy
(From Market)
Difference
Product development 100,000 60,000 40,000
Operational cost / month 6,000 10,000 4,000
Breakeven point: 40,000/4,000 = 10 Month
If software is used for < 10 months then “ Buy”
If software is used for > 10 months then “ Make (in-house)”

Source selection
analysis
Review prioritization of competing demands before deciding on selection method.
Its good practice to include evaluation method in the procurements documents.
Commonly used selection methods includes:
Least cost:
•Routine or standard procurement
Qualifications only:
•Value of procurement is relatively small
•Time & cost of full selection process will not make
sense.
Plan Procurement Management->T&T -> Source selection analysis

Source selection
analysis
Quality-based/ highest tech. proposal score:
•Technical proposal with cost is submitted.
•Seller is invited to negotiate, if technical proposal is acceptable.
•Highest ranked technical proposal is selected, if financial proposal is
acceptable.
Quality and cost-based:
•Similar to above
•Cost to be included as a factor in sellers selection process.

Source selection
analysis
Sole source:
• Buyer asks specific seller to prepare financial & technical proposal.
• This is expectation process hence proper authorization is required.
Fixed budget:
• Buyer to disclose available budget to sellers.
• Buyer to ensure budget is compatible with SOW.
• This can be used only if SOW is precisely defines & no changes are
anticipated.

Meetings
Meeting with team to formulate a procurement strategy.
Meetings with potential bidders.
Discuss approach, potential issues & seller evaluation

coordinated with other
project aspects
Time table of key
procurement activities
Procurement metrics to be
used
Stakeholder roles and
responsibilities
Constraints and
assumption

for performance bonds or

Procurement
strategy

It helps to determine project delivery method, type of agreement & how to proceed with procurement phases.
Delivery methods
Contract payment
types
Procurement phases
Plan Procurement Management -> Output -> Procurement strategy

Procurement
strategy
Delivery methods:
•Different for professional services versus construction projects
For professional services:
Service provider
with no
subcontracting
Service provider
with
subcontracting
Joint venture
between buyer &
services provider
Service provider
acts as a
representative
For industrial or commercial construction projects:
Turnkey
Design build
(DB)
Design bid
build (DBB)
Design build
operate (DBP)
Build own
operate
transfer
(BOOT)

Procurement
strategy
Contract payment types:
• Coordinated with buying organizations internal financial system.
• They include but not limited to contract type plus variations.
• Lump sum, FFP, CPAF, CPIF, T&M, target cost etc.
Fixed fee contracts are suitable when the type of work
is predictable and the requirements are well defined.
Cost plus contracts are suitable when the work is
evolving, likely to change
Incentives and awards may be used to align the
objectives of buyer and seller

Procurement
strategy
Procurement phases:
•Sequencing or phasing of the procurement, description of each phase.
Procurement performance indicators and
milestones to be used in monitoring
Criteria for moving from phase to phase
Monitor and evaluation plan for tracking
progress
Process for knowledge transfer

Make-or-buy
Decisions
Decisions made regarding external purchase or internal manufacture of a product (Formally documented)
Make
•Document Internal process
•E.g., Develop Software in-house
Buy
•Document external process
•E.g., Buy Seller services to develop software
Plan Procurement Management-> Output-> Make-or-buy Decisions
Whether particular
work/Service/Product
can best be developed
internally
Needs to be purchased
from outside sources.

Procurement
Statement of Work
Developed from the project scope baseline and defines related contract scope.
It describes all the procurement item in detail.
Specifications
Performance
desired
Work location
Delivery
Schedule
Collateral
services (e.g.,
Warranty)
• Clear, complete, and concise.
Written
description
• there are specific content and format need to be used
In some
application areas
Plan Procurement Management-> Output->Procurement SOW

Procurement
Statement of Work

Terms of reference (TOR):
Tasks the contractor is required to perform
Coordination requirements
Standards the contractor to fulfil
Data that needs to be submitted for approval
List of data and services provided by buyer to contractor
Schedule for initial submission and review / approval time required

Independent cost
estimates
For large procurements, buyer
Prepare its own estimates Get is done though outside estimators

Significant difference in estimates means
SOW was deficient or ambiguous Seller misunderstood or failed to fully respond

Change Requests
A decision that involves procuring goods, services, or resources typically requires a
change request.

control process.
Change Request due to:
