There are eight RFP (request for proposal) documents

Unit Assignments

Unit I Mini Project

There are eight RFP (request for proposal) documents located in the Course Documents section of this course. Please take this week to look them over carefully in order to be prepared to select one for Unit II. You will be working with the RFP you select throughout the course to build upon each unit’s work. Each RFP has incomplete data, so you will be required to research to fill in some of the blanks or the missing data.

 

Take the RFP project from the perspective that you are the contactor that won this bid; therefore, you must present professional looking documents to your client. This means the appropriate use of color and branding. Once you choose your RFP, compose a 75 word document that identifies the RFP you selected and your reason for choosing it.

Needs Assessment

• Be sure to fill out each section in detail using as much information you can gather from the RFP.
• There may be information that is not provided in each RFP, so you may have to conduct research to account for the missing information because this is a fictitious project.
• Make this document as professional-looking as possible. You are the contract manager for the RFP you have selected. Therefore, present the documentation as if this is going to leadership.

The document should include a title page, verbiage on why risk management is important to your selected project and how it relates to the project (two to three paragraphs), the modified risk table, and a conclusion.

 

• Each risk must be scored, and mitigation plans must be outlined in detail.
• Each risk must be ranked, and therefore, the highest risk items should be on top: red, yellow, green in order.

 

Listing at least 10-15 risks is appropriate.

Post Award Phase

Taking into considerations the RFP you have selected to work with during this course, answer the following questions in detail. Submit this assignment as one comprehensive MS Word document of no less than 200 words.

 

1. As a possible result of changes in buyer’s or seller’s needs, what change management process would you consider putting in place if this were a real bid that you won? How would you document change?

Unit VI Mini Project

Value Creation

 

Sellers create value for buyers in the form of providing leading edge technology, state of the art products, timely services, ease of buying, and quality of relationships, services, and products. These values are usually related to company finances (but not for all criteria, as compliance, safety, and other factors can be considered). Sellers will create value for you as the buyer, given the RFP you have selected, and then in turn you will create value for your buyer (client).

 

Taking into considerations the RFP you have selected to work with during this course, answer the following two questions in detail. Submit this assignment as one comprehensive MS Word document of no less than 200 words.

 

1. What are the most important value add criteria your sellers can provide you in order to make your project a success?
2. In turn, what value will you provide to your clients? Why should your clients select you as their future vendor?

 

Unit VII Mini Project

Use the RFP you have selected to work with during this course. Given the following list of possible risks/opportunities, name four that come into play, and give details about how each of the four you selected can impact the RFP (risks and opportunities) you have selected if it were to be a real project. How can these risks be mitigated? How can the opportunities (if any) be used to improve the project and procurement relationship? Submit this assignment as one comprehensive MS Word document of no less than 500 words.

 

• Budget
• Schedule
• Seller Experience
• Quality

At the end of the course, a final procurement plan is due (the Procurement Plan Template is accessible from Syllabus Unit VIII Course Project below). Please take the time to begin working on this during Unit VII so you have enough time to complete it by the end of the official course date. This is a detailed document relating to the RFP you have selected.
