Procurement Management Question 6

[admin]

In the middle of the project, a seller tells you that he cannot get the resources to complete the project. Generally, what is the BEST thing to do?

a) The contract has been breached, contact your lawyer
b) Try to help uncover more resources, but continue the project
c) Remind the seller of the penalties for not meeting the nest deliverable due date.
d) Begin the close procurements process

The correct answer is B.

This is a question that looks for your understanding of the term breach, and its impact on your project. In this situation, the seller has NOT breached the contract; he has not failed to meet a deliverable. It says he is having trouble meeting it. Until a breach occurs, you do not need to take legal action. Therefore, choice A would not be the best option. Many people pick choice C, but this is not correct because it does not deal with the problem. It simply says, “You must find them anyway.” Choice D is not correct since you still need the effort completed and moving into closure will not provide the required deliverable. This leaves choice B, which implies that since the contract has not been breached, the best thing to do would be to prevent the breach. You could help the seller find other resources. They may be found internally, or you may have a better understanding of the availability of resources in your area.
