ADDRESSING THE WI-FI REACH PROJECT2
1. Introduction
The report discusses the brief idea and the major form of inclusions, which are a part of
the discussed ‘Wi-Fi Reach Project’. There has been a major rise in the growing needs of the
utilization of the internet based tools and techniques to be implemented in various sectors due to
major advances within the sector of Information Technology. The concerned project deals with
the major kind of developments that are made within the healthcare sector and the areas of
public-based health care within the country (Chavez et al. 2016). From the study of the case, the
idea for the development of the project has been discussed with the National Health Authority
(NHA), who is reporting to the Ministry of Health based on delivering healthcare services and
provisioning medical care throughout the country.
The primary idea of the project was to explore new kind of opportunities based on
extending communication with the help of Internet strategies. The government also gained
massive funds from the UK based on the needs of purchasing newer technologies, which would
be helpful for connecting LMC’s and hospitals with the Internet services (Islam et al. 2015).
Modern equipment would also be highly needed based on bringing improvement in modern
processes within the hospitals. In the present situation of the case, it can be discussed that most
of the information within the hospitals is transferred by using paper-based and manual system.
The exchange of data between the hospitals is also being done by using fax, telephone and post-
based methods.
The following parts of discussion of the report would majorly focus over the importance
of procurement for the project. Further there would also be a major discussion on the features
and challenges faced with projects based on procurement and contract. The type of contract that

would be enforced for the MIL and NHA would also be discussed based on the appropriateness
over the objectives set for the project. Moreover, there would also be a justification for the
design of an Action Plan that would be meant for successful completion of the concerning
project area.
2. Discussion
2.1 Problem Areas based on Procurement or Contract
In case of the discussed project, which would be implemented within the hospitals, the
NHA would be primarily hold responsibility for covering the specific areas in relation to the
procurement of technology from Medical Innovations Limited (MIL). The contract with the MIL
would help NHA to support the hospital with the supply of all forms of necessary equipment,
managing the regional connections, supporting with the systems, maintenance and training of all
employees for a term period of six months after which the installation would be done (Meehan,
Ludbrook and Mason 2016). The contract would be done based on a fixed-price.
Based on the discussed areas of procurement of project requirements and determining
the contract for workers, staff and trainers, the different problematic areas of procurement or
contract that would be considered as important for consideration are:
1. Issues based on Choice of Suppliers – Management of suppliers is also a major
concern for procurement. The identification of the right suppliers for the development of Internet
based platforms is considered to be highly important in nature. This would also majorly help the
NHA to satisfy the requirements as pointed out by the Government. Keeping a track over the
performance of the vendor and further ensuring over the stable supply for quality of products is
another major concern (Krieger et al. 2016). Each of the process in relation to the choice of
