Initiating Establish the procurement approach across the project Define roles and responsibilities in relation to procurement activities within the project. Engage with the organisation's procurement and contracts department to draw standard policy and procedure into the project and to establish the governance policy and procedures to be applied to the project. Identify the initial requirements for items to be procured, especially in relation to long lead-time items and large capital purchases. Gain approval (according to the governance procedure) of any long lead-time item and capital purchases. These typically fall outside the accountability of the project manager and may reside instead with governance committees (such as the project steering committee and/or sponsor). Define the procurement relationships and identify any specialist skills to be employed within the project. Consider 'make or buy decisions to record in the Procurement Management Plan. Consider the impact of these on the project budget and sources of funding. Document all procurement management activities within the Procurement Management Plan. Review lessons-learned from previous projects (from a procurement-perspective). This may extend to projects outside the organisation, where information is available (e.g. in trade magazines, journals and press releases).
