Deciding on a Procurement Method

Jorge Lynch 1 Comment

It is important to consult with the procuring entity at this early stage in order to determine the most appropriate procurement method for their specific need.

This simple exercise of obtaining the assistance of the procuring entity early on helps to avoid disappointments, unrealistic expectations and frustrations when, due to poor planning, it is impossible to meet expectations set during the requirement definition phase.
