Task $1.$ Suppose that your team agree that it makes sense to outsource some components of the system. Write a one$-$page memo to senior management stating why you think they need to be outsourced.

Task $2.$ Assume that the source selection criteria for evaluating proposals are as follows:

Management approach, $15\%$

Technical approach, $15\%$

Past performance, $20\%$

Price, $20\%$

Interview results and samples, $30\%$

Using the template attached, create a spreadsheet that could be used to enter ratings and calculate scores for each criterion and total weighted scores for three proposals.

Enter scores for Proposal $1$ as $80,90,70,90,$ and $80,$ respectively.

Enter scores for Proposal $2$ as $90,50,95,80,$ and $95.$

Enter scores for Proposal $3$ as $60,90,90,80,$ and $65.$
