1 Define your procurement strategy

Before you start looking for suppliers and contractors, you need to have a clear and comprehensive procurement strategy that outlines your project scope, budget, schedule, quality standards, and risk management plan. Your procurement strategy should also define your procurement methods, such as competitive bidding, negotiated contracts, or direct purchase, and your contract types, such as lump sum, cost-plus, or fixed-price. Your procurement strategy should be aligned with your project goals and stakeholder expectations, and should be documented and communicated to your project team and potential vendors.

Choosing one procurement strategy over another comes down to 3 things: 1. Risk tolerance and project objectives 2. Availability of specifications, details of the scope, and technical drawings 3. Ability to manage changes and costs.

2 Conduct market research and prequalification

To find the best suppliers and contractors for your plant layout project, you need to conduct thorough market research and prequalification. Market research involves identifying and analyzing the potential sources of supply and demand, the availability and cost of materials and equipment, the industry trends and regulations, and the competitive landscape. Prequalification involves screening and evaluating the capabilities, experience, qualifications, and reputation of potential vendors, based on criteria such as technical expertise, financial stability, quality performance, safety record, and references. By conducting market research and prequalification, you can reduce the risk of selecting unreliable or unsuitable vendors, and save time and money in the procurement process.

3 Prepare clear and detailed specifications and contracts

One of the most important steps in procurement and contracting is to prepare clear and detailed specifications and contracts that define the scope, terms, and conditions of the goods and services to be delivered. Specifications should include the technical, functional, and performance requirements, as well as the quality standards, acceptance criteria, and testing procedures. Contracts should include the contract type, price, payment terms, delivery schedule, change management, warranty, liability, dispute resolution, and termination clauses. By preparing clear and detailed specifications and contracts, you can avoid ambiguity, misunderstanding, and conflict, and ensure that your vendors meet your expectations and comply with your obligations.

4 Manage procurement and contracting activities and relationships

Once you have selected your suppliers and contractors, you need to manage the procurement and contracting activities and relationships throughout the project lifecycle. This involves monitoring and controlling the delivery, quality, cost, and schedule of the goods and services, as well as the performance, communication, and feedback of the vendors. You also need to manage any changes, issues, or disputes that may arise during the procurement and contracting process, and resolve them in a timely and fair manner. Additionally, you need to maintain good relationships with your vendors, based on trust, respect, and collaboration, and foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.

5 Evaluate procurement and contracting outcomes and lessons learned

The final step in procurement and contracting is to evaluate the outcomes and lessons learned from the project. This involves measuring and reporting the results, benefits, and impacts of the procurement and contracting activities, such as the quality, cost, and time of the goods and services, the satisfaction and feedback of the stakeholders, and the risks and opportunities encountered. You also need to identify and document the best practices, challenges, and lessons learned from the procurement and contracting process, and share them with your project team and organization. By evaluating the outcomes and lessons learned, you can improve your procurement and contracting skills and knowledge, and apply them to future projects.

There’s the schedule, the stakeholder matrix, the managing of resources. Speaking of the latter, there’s the matter of how you’re going to procure resources that require vendors of goods and services. The procurement management plan is part of the overall project management plan. Over the life cycle of a project there are likely to be many points where it will intersect with vendors. This process needs to be managed. To manage these relationships and keep the flow of those goods and services moving without interruption requires a procurement management plan. If it seems like we’re going too fast, it’s because we are. The act of procurement, its management and planning are all deeply embedded in the methodology of project management.
