RFP solicitation structures

The Course Project for MGMT408 is composed of 2 parts.

PROJECT SELECTION OPTIONS The procurement document should reflect an IT area of individual or team interest or you may select one of the procurement cases below as the basis for creating an RFP. Optional RFP Procurement Cases You may select one of the following RFP procurement cases to develop your RFP solicitation. You sell IT related equipment from a catalog and business has been blossoming. But your inventory tracking system is inadequate. In high season supply outages have been frequent and customer complaints over delays have been increasing. You fear that your business will die on the vine unless something is done to improve things. You want to hire a management consultant to design a new inventory tracking system. This kind of work normally requires about 6 months of effort. It is now May. You need to issue an RFP for this work. The procurement will be for the design stage only—implementation may or may not be handled under a separate contract at a later date.

The lower energy costs will result in lower operating costs for the call center and the increase in productivity will generate additional revenue.
