I need a response to this entry, please

i.Starting from the project sponsor, a couple of questions have to be asked. Was the scope of the project realistic? Were enough time and resources given? Even though a project manager should have some say in those two things, everything else after that is the project manager's responsibility. They are responsible for everything from project initiation to delivery. Their job is to steer the ship. In other words, the captain may not own the ship, but they definitely should go down with it.

down below is the original question

When a project is nearing delivery and there are still problems, its time for that conversationthe one where it's determined how the less-than-perfect implementation is going to be positioned to the customer and users. Whats the project manager's (and teams) accountability here?

The cheapest vendor isn't necessary the lowest cost. Prefered vendors can save time, effort, or manpower. They ultimately contribute to a better overall product and bottomline. They are prefered because they typically have tested experience. Imagine a project starting off on the wrong track because the cheapest vendor made a small error. It would then cost so much more money down the line to reverse the issue.

the original question is down below,

Some experts recommend working with preferred vendors even if their prices are higher than other vendors. Why do you think this is the case?
