Lake Renown Procurement

A procurement strategy defines whether a centralized or decentralized procurement process is appropriate. After the team selects the process, how does the Project Manager ensure clear demarcation of buying authority? What are the conditions that clearly lead to the development of the Request for Proposal (RFP), followed by source selection from an approved bidders list? With completion of the RFP, what are the steps the project team needs to take that lead to contract award?
