Make or buy analysis helps project management team to decide whether it is beneficial
(in terms of cost and quality) to procure a product or service or it can be produced within
the organization.
Market Research includes examination of industry and specific vendor capabilities.
Procurement teams may leverage information gained at conferences , online reviews and
a variety of sources to identify market capabilities.
Meetings , by collaborating with potential bidders , the organization purchasing the
material or service may benefit while supplier can influence a mutually beneficial

Procurement statements of work defines the products, services , or result to be
procured in details so that the seller can be sure that he can provide appropriate
products , services, or results. It is developed from the project scope baseline and
defines only that portion of the project scope that needs to be procured and stated in
the contract.
Procurement documents define the buyer’s requirements and facilitate complete
and correct response from the prospective sellers in the form of a proposal, which
aids in the selection of the seller(s). The most commonly used procurement
documents are RFP (Request for Proposal), IFB (Invitation for Bid and RFI (Request for

criteria are seller’s understanding of need , overall- life-cycle cost, technical capability,
Risk, past performance of the seller, Financial capacity, Warranty etc
Make –or - Buy Decisions, A make-or- buy analysis results in a decision of whether
particular work can best be accomplished by the project team or needs to be

Practicing Key Concepts
Exercise 1: Make or Buy Analysis
You’ve been contracted by a construction company to manage their contracting.
They have a choice of either buying an excavator or renting it. To buy it, the
company would have to pay $105,000, but owning it will require approximately
$10,000 in maintenance costs per year. The price to rent the excavator is $5000 per
month, with a one-time service charge of $2000. What’s the minimum number of
months the company needs to use the excavator in order for it to make sense to
buy it rather than rent?
1. 8 months
2. 16 months
3. 21 months

Advertising is used by the performing organization to invite the potential sellers to be
Contracted
Analytical Techniques, procurements involve defining a need in such as way
that vendors can bring value through offerings. To ensure that the need can be and is
met, analytical techniques can help organizations identify the readiness of a vendor to
provide the desired end state. By examining past performance information, teams may
identify areas that may have more risk and that need to be monitored closely to
ensure success of the project
Procurement negotiations between the buyers and the potential sellers are
performed with the goal of reaching mutual agreement on the contractual terms and
conditions. The goal is to reach a win-win scenario between the buyer and seller.
