Assignment:
Case Study
Background:
Case Study is a comprehensive assessment that highlights the preparation that will precede the procurement and contracting process.
The scenario of outsourcing a corporate datacenter is one that is very current, and this decision is being made daily. You will prepare a document to be presented to the executives that will be comprehensive and easy to use to decide if the company will outsource or not. By the end of your analysis, you should have touched on all aspects of the contracting process, from plan purchases and acquisition stage, through the select sellers phase.
Please see Doc Sharing for Case Study.
Terminal Course Objectives (TCOs)
All terminal course objectives studied up through Week are being addressed in Case Study.
1 Given a specific project scope, a set of legal and management requirements, and the availability of internal resources, evaluate optional contract structures and recommend and justify the preferred structure for that given situation.
2. Given a simple procurement need and a complex project that requires one or more procurement activities, compare and contrast the scope and functions of contract procurement/management versus project management.
3. Given a specific project and its anticipated contract administration and project management requirements, create a procurement division of the responsibilities matrix and a project division of responsibility matrix that consider the utilization of internal resources in order to define any external resources that will be required.
4. Given specific contract procurement conditions for a project, identify and evaluate the factors that influence a contract pricing strategy and recommend the strategy that is best suited for the given conditions.
5. Given the need to procure a major contract, select a set of management and commercial requirements that are appropriate for the size and complexity of the contract.
6. Given the need to solicit goods or services from external sources, consolidate all contract and, if applicable, project requirements into a checklist that will form the framework to guide the development of a Request for Proposals (RFP).
