Project Procurement Management
… is the processes to purchase or acquire the products, services, or results needed from outside the project team to perform the work.
Two perspectives: may be buyer or seller of the contract (** Note: PMI looks at things from Buyers perspective)
Seller **BuyerContractor Customer/Client
Sub-Contractor Purchaser
Vendor Prime Contractor
Service Provider Acquiring Organization
Supplier Gov. Agency
Note: Seller usually manages work as project
Service Requestor –provides requirements
6
Project Procurement Management
Assumption - this is external to the organization but could apply internally if there are formal agreementsBuyer becomes customer and is key stakeholder (PMI is from buyers view)Contract terms and conditions can contain deliverables, milestones, and cost objectives and can limit options
7
Project Procurement Management
Terms and Conditions (T’s & C’s)Define the business relationship between the buyer and seller (of the contract) and how it is conducted throughout the established period of performance.Terms: Necessary statements by which the contract is legally valid. Example: The total term duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 60 months. Conditions: Defined events that must happen in order for contingent terms in a contract to become fixed. Example:Financial penalty for late product delivery, which is only valid when the product delivery is late (If/Then scenario).
8
… a mutually binding agreement that obligates the seller to provide a specified product or service and obligates the buyer to pay for it.
• Mutual agreement - offer & acceptance• Consideration for work/item produced – has to
be for something of value
• Two or more parties with legal capacity (competence) to make the deal
• Legal purpose/obligation
What is a contract?
9
Contracts – all kinds. . .
• Agreement• Subcontract• Letter contract - an initial agreement used to authorize
immediate work prior to negotiating and executing the final agreement (often T&M)
• Consulting agreement - used to obtain professional advise or specialized expertise, but does not transfer any risks to the seller
• Purchase order - fixed/unit price for simple commodity purchase

Plan Purchases and Acquisitions
• Inputs Enterprise environmental factors – the marketplaceOrganizational process assets – organizational procurement mgmt policies, guidelines, etc.Project scope statementWork Breakdown StructureWBS DictionaryProject Management Plan
Identifies which project needs can best be met by purchasing or acquiring products or services outside the project organization, and which project needs can be accomplished by the project team during project execution.
13
12.1 - Plan Purchases & Acquisitions
• Tools and TechniquesMake-or-buy analysisExpert judgmentContract types
• OutputsProcurement management planContract Statement(s) of work (SOW)Make-or-Buy DecisionsRequested Changes
14
Make-or-Buy Analysis - Tools
Used to determine whether a product or service can be produced by the project team or can be purchased.
•Long range Corporate goals
•Idle existing capacity?
•Limited existing capacity?
•Design secrecy?
•Stabilize the work force?
•Increase the work force?
•Maintain multiple suppliers?
•Limited long range market?
•Short range project specific perspective
•Direct costs/price are less?
•Indirect costs are less?
•Control of delivery schedule?
•Control of product quality?
•Risk Management Strategy/Issues
•Integration of operations?
•Unreliable suppliers?
•Supplier’s skills unique/required?
15
Selection Objective
To select a contract type that will result in:
• Delivery of a desired product, on schedule and within budget
• Reasonable and acceptable contractor risk • Provide the contractor with the greatest incentive for
efficient and economical performance, while achieving or exceeding scope, specifications and quality
Contract Types - Tools
16
Factors to consider:• Overall degree of technical, cost, and schedule risk• Type/complexity of requirements• Extent of price competition• Cost/price analysis required• Urgency of requirement• Period of performance• Contractor’s accounting system – Financial stability• Other concurrent contracts• Extent of subcontracting and material acquisition• Change forecasted over the contract period
Contract types - Tools
17
Fixed Price or Lump Sum (see p220 Heldman for examples)• Fixed Price Plus Incentive (FPPI or FPI)• Firm Fixed Price (FFP)
T&M – mixture of both (p221 Heldman & p278 PMBOK)
• Time and Materials/Fixed Unit Rate
Cost Reimbursable (p221 Heldman & p278 PMBOK)
• Cost-Plus-Fee (CPF) or Cost-Plus-Percent of Cost (CPPC)
• Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF)• Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF)• Cost Plus Award Fee (CPAF)
Contract Types
(As recognized by PMI)
18
Cost Reimbursable:• Used for:
Unique/ill-defined products & servicesCustom products Difficult schedule
• Buyer retains cost & schedule risksRequires payment of all allowable, allocable, & reasonable costsRequires no guarantee that services/product can be delivered
Contract Types - Tools
19
Award/Incentive fees
• Additions to a contract type• Reduces the purchase price by assigning or
sharing the risks with the contractor• Encourages specific behaviors by tying the
contractor’s fee to their performance relative to cost, time, or technical requirements
Contract type additions - Tools
20
• Firm Fixed Price (Lump sum, Fixed Price)Most desirable for buyerLump sum priceNot subject to adjustment based on actual costOwner responsible to define and manage scopeUsed for routine products and servicesPlaces maximum risk on sellerReduces administrative burden on contracting parties
• Use when:Reasonably definitive specsFair and reasonable price can be established at outset
Types of Contracts - FFP
21
• Fixed Price Plus Incentive (also known as FPIF)Fixed price with provisions for profit adjustmentFinal price derived by applying formulaFormula based on cost relationshipCeiling priceFirm fixed target & successive target types
• Use when:Firm fixed price not suitablePositive profit incentiveMostly technical incentivesBilling prices established and adjusted
Types of Contracts - FPPI
22
• Time and Materials/Fixed Unit RateFixed hourly rates or cost per unit (GSA Schedule)Not-to-exceed amounts establishedIncurred hours and materials costs used need to be properly recorded and subject to auditOther direct costs or materials reimbursed as actual costs, usually with applicable burdens
• Use when:Buyer requires controlSmaller dollar amounts/short term projectUsed in emergency when work needs to begin, but contract not completed
Types of Contracts - T&M
23
• Cost Plus Fixed FeeBuyer pays for allowable costFee is percentage of estimated cost - FixedFee is based on amount of risk involvedSeller has minimum risk and minimum cost control incentive
Use when:Uncertainties in contract performanceResearch work or preliminary exploration
• Cost Plus Fee (CPF)Seller reimbursed for allowable costsFee varies with actual cost
Cost Plus Percentage of Costs (CPPC) not generally used –prohibited by Federal government.
Types of Contracts- CPFF
24
• Cost Plus Incentive FeeBuyer and seller agree on feeShared savingsSeller can lose feeFee negotiated and later adjusted by formulaFormula includes target cost, target fee, max fee, and fee adjustment formulaFormula based on cost relationship; total allowable costs to target costs
• Use when:Cost reimbursement contract is necessaryAn appropriate fee adjustment contract can be negotiatedYou want contractor to align with specific objectivesCan include technical incentives
Types of Contracts - CPIF
25
• Cost Plus Award Fee (similar to CPIF)Buyer and seller negotiate a base fee and award fee targetSeller can lose award fee based on performanceFee set by periodic evaluation (i.e., monthly based on performance)Objective and subjective criteria set at beginning of periodNo protest mechanism available once award fee score set
• Use when:Cost reimbursable contracts where greater incentive is desiredEfforts where greater administrative burden to evaluate performance is deemed beneficial to both parties

Team Exercise
• Select three (3) types of vendor situations on your project
• Decide what kind of contract you would have for each vendor and why you’ve chosen it
• Take maximum of 15 minutes • Be prepared to present to class
29
Procurement Management Plan
OutputsDocument the decisions - some items may be:
Type of contract(s)Cost/price controlActions/involvement of other groupsDocumentation/specifications requiredManagement strategies/actionsCoordination with the rest of the project requirementsDifferent contracts during different phases of the project?Best organizational structure to manage multiple contractsMetrics to measure and evaluate sellers
30
SOW: Describes the product or service in detail to allow prospective sellers to determine if they are capable of providing the item, based on the nature, the needs of the buyer, or the expected form of the contract.
Performance – what final product should accomplish instead of how builtFunctional or detailed – end purpose or results rather than specific procedures. Minimum essential characteristicsDesign – precisely what work is to be doneAlso commonly called Performance Work Statement (PWS)

43
Select Sellers - Tools
• Screening system• Weighting system
Applied to technical, cost, time, otherAssign a numerical weight to each of the evaluation criteriaRate the prospective sellers on the criterionMultiply the weight by the ratingTotal the resultant products to compute an overall score
• Independent estimates
44
Select Sellers – Tools
Contract NegotiationShould be conducted to assure complete understanding of all aspects of risk, responsibilities, the scope of work, the terms & conditions, and price of the contract
Things to think about: • Data rights, penalties, payment schedules, fee
structure, schedule of deliveries
From Frame, p 235
45
Select Sellers – Tools
Contract Negotiation• Getting to Yes – Negotiation Agreement
without Giving InDon’t bargain over positionsSeparate people from the problemFocus on interests, not positionsInvent options for mutual gainUse objective criteria
Getting to Yes by Fisher and Ury
46
Select Sellers – Tools
Negotiation• Sharing responsibility (clearly defined)
Communicate (work) effectively with your counterpart to assure understanding.Avoid confrontational relationships with customers and suppliersResolve problems so that they don’t keep recurring-if not resolved in negotiation, they may show up in execution of the project
47
Select Sellers – Output
