terms and conditions for acquiring different types of goods or services from various external
sources through a tendering or a competitive bidding process (Lloyd-Walker & Walker, 2015). It
eventually includes making purchasing decision under any scarcity condition. The respective
corporations eventually define various processes that are intended in promoting fairer as well as
open competition for then business during minimization of the risks like exposure to collusion
and fraud. The major factors impact this specific procurement like handling, delivery, price
fluctuation and marginal benefits (Fleming, 2019). This report will be outlining a detailed

are being eventually progressed by the respective subcontractor builders. There existed a lack of
proper framework for contract management present within the organization for their clinical
equipment procurement program. For several aspects of procurement, it is being analysed that
the scope, cost or time of the project modification was not subsequently agreed with the
respective Project Co and was even considered as the highest risk or threat (Walker & Rahmani,
2016). It was checked that clinical equipment procurement program could be improvised in
respect to content and frequency of the project.
There had been effective system or process for decision making, which are being timely
studied by the respective management for providing better growth scope to the respective
hospital. The project is segregated into different phases and also help out the project manager in
achieving distinct milestones eventually (Carithers et al., 2015). The issues related to
governance, cost or project delays would be removed if the procurement plan is revised and the
project work would be made much more effective and efficient. As a result, better scope of the
procurement would be gained and the project would be becoming successful.
