The evaluation and selection of a new product is a high risk process. Errors made at this stage usually lead to significant cost and time over-runs not only in the procurement process itself but also in the subsequent implementation project.
In many cases, the failure of an implementation project can be traced back to an error or omission during the procurement process.
Procurement projects have their own unique issues for the project manager. Decision making on such a large scale attracts a lot of politics, emotions and the vendor’s sales representatives must be managed.
A strong and transparent procurement process is critical to ensure a successful procurement decision which will not be subjected to second-guessing and the possible repetition of the process.
