Implement your planning and allocate the resources

It's now time to put your planning into action by negotiating and obtaining the resources according to your plans. This needs to be completed within the timeframes outlined in your planning and according to all other organisational requirements such as procurement policies. As part of this step, you will need to provide evidence that you have done this for all three of your plans which will include:

• obtaining quotes
• obtaining the necessary approvals to move forward
• arranging the acquisition of the resources.

Ensure to work in line with the resource allocation and monitoring system and procedures developed in the previous activity step.

If using the case study, you can assume that your manager has approved your recommendation after you send the email recommending your preferred suppliers. If in the workplace, attach any approvals you received as part of the process.
