Procurement assistance: pilot planning
Try a bounded sample before expanding the work. Start with approved supplier records and selection criteria and plan a draft comparison with unanswered questions.
Available remotely for local and international enquiries. Platform choice and final scope depend on your requirements.
The project in view
- Start with
- approved supplier records and selection criteria.
- Proposed result
- a draft comparison with unanswered questions.
- A decision to resolve
- treating an incomplete quotation as comparable.
This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.
Pilot planning for this project
- Choose a small part of approved supplier records and selection criteria with an independently checkable result.
- Produce a draft comparison with unanswered questions on that sample and record review corrections.
- Include treating an incomplete quotation as comparable in the pilot; do not expand the scope until its treatment is agreed.
Questions to answer together
- Which sample includes both routine work and an exception?
- What time, correction and completeness measures will be recorded?
- What finding would require changing the scope before continuing?
What to have at the end
A pilot plan with a representative sample, review date and continuation decision.
Record the decision on treating an incomplete quotation as comparable alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
