Procurement may be a complex and lengthy operation, and it is the purpose of this task to give you an opportunity to practice the decisions to be made in the make-or-buy analysis during a typical procurement planning stage. You, as the Project Manager, are required to consider recommendations made by your procurement specialist and team, and to decide how procurement of these ten activities should be handled (for example, make in-house, by purchase "Commercial-offthe- shelf" (COTS), competitive bidding, sole source procurement, and so forth) and bundled, if at all, to maximize efficiency and cost. In reaching your decision, you should remember that: The more the activities are bundled (that is, the greater the number of individual procurement items) the less opportunity there is to have each procured in the most economical manner by a specialized contractor, vendor or supplier The more t the activities are bundled the less control you will have over the individual activities. The more the activities are bundled the more the administrative load will be transferred from your staff to the contractors, but there will be a cost associated and expressed in the contractor's prices or fees, in doing so. The less the activities are bundled the greater the possibility for conflict on deadlines between the various contractors in support of your project. Summarize your decisions in a table or chart format, and attach it along with the make-or-buy discussion and justification as a section for the Procurement Management plan.
