Assessment Aims
This PRJM6004 Planning Scope of Works is designed to consolidate your learnings from the first four weeks of the course, in particular:
- how to undertake procurement planning and design a Procurement Plan; and
- how to write a Scope of Work, with sufficient detail and clarity that would enable the Scope of Work to be subsequently incorporated into a Request for Tender / Request for Quote; and
- how to articulate Performance Requirements and Measures, with sufficient detail and clarity that would enable the Performance Requirements and Measures to be subsequently incorporated into a services contract.
You will need to demonstrate a sound understanding of the theory behind preparing a Procurement Plan and a Scope of Work, and careful critical analysis is required to identify the most relevant theory for the assessment.
A Procurement Plan can take a variety of forms. You need to design one that is relevant to the services to be procured as per the PRJM6004 Planning Scope of Works question. You are free to structure your Procurement Plan as you see fit.
Assessment Question
For this PRJM6004 Planning Scope of Works you are an internal Project Manager in the Project Management Office of Mines Are Us, a large national company based on St George’s Terrace in the Perth CBD.
You have been briefed to manage the overall needs of your company in contracting an external catering company to supply food and beverages and service staff to the flagship Perth corporate headquarters of your company.
This involves supplying the food and drinks and kitchen staff required for the internal staff kitchen, which provides a canteen for the staff to purchase lunch and refreshments during the working day. There are 200 staff who use the canteen, 100 of whom on average buy their lunch each day, and the other 100 buy drinks and snacks during the day.
The company has an internal commercial kitchen available for use, and a large staff dining room that seats 75 staff. Most staff take 45 minutes for their lunch break, and take it somewhere between 12pm and 1:30pm.
There is an industry shutdown in your company that runs for two and a half to three weeks at the end of each year from the Thursday before Christmas Day and runs through to the second Tuesday in January. Otherwise the kitchen is open Monday to Friday except for statutory public holidays.
In addition, the company needs catering and service staff for approximately 250 business meetings involving external clients held in the company’s five internal conference rooms regularly throughout each year at various times between 8am and 5pm. Each conference room can seat up to 10 people, and three can be opened up together to seat 50 people seminar style. Of those meetings on average 70% require only tea, coffee and biscuits, and 20% require a light lunch of sandwiches and wraps and fresh fruit in the meeting rooms. The company requires a range of teas and coffees including lattes to be available. 5% require a hot meal for lunch to be served in the Board Room for up to 12 people, and 5% are seminar style meetings of up to 50 people which require platters of sushi, wraps and fresh fruit to be available at the start of the meeting with self-serve tea and filter coffee provided.
Mines Are Us can supply only 0.75FTE staff from the Project Management Office to oversee the whole of the catering operations, however the company still requires all catering staff and catering offerings to be of a standard befitting the head office of a large national company.
You are to prepare the Procurement Plan for the catering needs of the Perth headquarters of Mines Are Us.
Your Procurement Plan must include at a minimum:
- the purpose, objectives and overall procurement process required;
- the Scope of Works required; and
- the Performance Requirements and Measures required,
each to a level that would enable the relevant sections of the Procurement Plan to be incorporated into Request for Tender / Request for Quote (RFT / RFQ) documentation to be subsequently issued, and incorporated into a Catering Services Contract that could ultimately be awarded.
[Note: You are not required to include an RFT/RFQ or a Services Contract, you are only
required to submit a Procurement Plan.]
Your Procurement Plan, to be complete, will also need to incorporate additional sections addressing those issues you consider to be essential to the particular procurement set out in the question.
