1. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BASED PROCUREMENT
MODEL OR THE RBP MODEL:
Walker & Walker in the book “Collaborative Project Procurement arrangements”, has
explained the RBP (Relationship Based Procurement) model applying Wittgenstein
Idea of Family Resemblance.
In this context the understanding of this RBP model and its sixteen (16) elements has
been properly explained in the light of concepts discussed in the book.
While the term relationship based procurement is often difficult to interpret as it does
not have any specific explanations. However it should be noted that the key concept
of relationship based procurement or the RBP model is that it develops a mechanism
that distribute responsibilities among the project collaborator and hold them
accountable for solving issues in the project. However the mechanism differs a lot as
per the project context and hence no standard mechanism is not available for
implementing the concept in the project.
The main concept of the model as depicted in the figure of the book of Walker &
Walker, is that it places the delivery component of the project at the core of the RBP
taxonomy model. It is referred to as the “stamen” of the flower. Then the “stamen” of
the flower is surrounded by the petals of the flower. Total 16 number of petals are
depicted in the model.
The model then defines key result areas or the KRAs that are required for defining
project performance which are then measured by the key performance areas or the
KPAs. KRAs are not limited to the traditional cost, time and fitness that are often
considered as important constraints to the RBP forms.
