INTRODUCTION
The procurement process can also be called as sourcing. This means collection of goods
and services from the third party or from the preparation and then request it with the help of the
statement of payment. The terms like financing, purchase planning, inventory control and other
stores, making purchases, suppliers research and selection, clients requirements, standard
determination, value analysis and price negotiation, all will be included in this(Ruparathna and
Hewage, 2013). In this assignment, all the factors have been discussed which can affect the
choice of the construction procurement methods and the best practices which are associated with
the procurement of all the construction process have also been discussed. Procurement is not
only about one single building, it is about the integral project which will include all the services
and goods, human resource like contractors, suppliers all are included (Vyas, 2016). The project
success have been significantly impacted by the procurement process.
PART 1 – DETAILED STUDY REPORT
P1.1 Client's need in construction process
As a senior manager of Samson Brooke & Associates Limited, the first thing to know is
the requirements of clients. The construction industry is divided into two sectors, one is public
and the other is private. The public sector will have all the government organizations. All the
which are not working under government will come under private organization. All the
administration, be it in public sector or private sector can have the experience in the construction
industry or they can have zero experience. The experienced organizations which comes under
public sector include all the government agencies, National health services and government
authorities (Ke, Davis and Jefferies, 2016).
There are some consideration which will be taken by client while selecting some
construction process:
Design
The mall design which the client needs must have high tech management system and
equipped with fully air conditioning. The office side building must have minimum six lifts which
are divided into three zones, one is low zone, second is mid zone and the third is high zone
(Carbonara, Costantin and Pellegrino, 2016). So it is very necessary that the contractor must
make the building according to the design, which client wants.
