Case Study: Section 1
Instructor Case Study: InYourFaceMarketing
Scenario
BackgroundYou work for a small high tech advertising firm, IYFM (InYourFaceMarketing). The offices are looking a little shabby, and some important new clients are expected to visit within a few weeks. The CEO has instructed a good friend of yours to get the place painted quickly as possible.IYFM does not have a procurement department. Your friend is responsible for everything. You just took a contract management training course and have been asked for advice on how to proceed.
Painting ProjectThe office manager has insisted that normal operations not be interrupted. The painting must, therefore, be done at night, evenings, or weekends.The painters will be responsible for removing pictures and decorations on the walls and then returning them to their correct place after painting. The painters will be required to move the furniture where necessary and to protect the furniture and flooring from splatter.The painting needs to magically get done without anyone even noticing.
SponsorJan Jones, the CEO and project sponsor, has initiated a number of concurrent decorative projects, including new carpets, new furnishing in the foyer and an upgrade to the wall decorations. A demanding woman, Jan expects everything to be done quickly, cheaply, and in the background. Redecorating activities should not affect anyone.
CostsKeep the costs as low as possible.
ScheduleThis project needs to be completed as soon as possible, in four weeks maximum.
ProcurementIYFM has a PO (Purchase Order) system. When something needs to be purchased, the person requesting the purchase must have a PO created by Bill Smith, the accounting manager.Any purchase over $500 requires a manager’s approval. Any purchase over $2,000 requires the approval of three managers. Any purchase over $10,000 requires the CEO’s approval.Standard practice at IYFM is to get at least three quotes before choosing a vendor or supplier.

Case Study: Section 1
Procurement StrategyIYFM had the building painted ten years ago but has no record of who did it or the cost. Your colleagues are advising you to call companies listed in the phone book or to ask for references from paint suppliers. Your friend has prepared a cover letter and plans to fax it to anyone that is interested. After ten responses have been received, the best contractor will be selected and put to work right away.

Instructor Case Study: InYourFaceMarketing
Scenario
Vendor SelectedA vendor has been selected, negotiations are complete, and a contract is in the final stages of being signed. The painters promised to start work within 48 hours of receiving a 25 percent down payment. They expect to complete the work in 10 calendar days at the most but are hoping to complete in six to seven days.
ScheduleThe original schedule was for the end of the month, a total of 30 days.The procurement assignment was given on Monday, September 1. The cover letter was faxed out on Tuesday, September 2. The rest of the first week was spent mulling over the proposals.At the end of the first week, Jan, the CEO, decided that the painting project was a substantial enough purchase to warrant a more formal procurement process. She refused all proposals from the first round and insisted on an entirely new RFQ (request for quote). She still expects the original deadline to be met.The RFQ was written over the weekend, approved on Monday, and distributed on Tuesday the 9th.Responses were accepted until Thursday and analyzed on Friday. A recommendation was made to the CEO on Saturday, which she approved.Negotiations took place on Monday and Tuesday. An agreement was reached on Wednesday. A contract was prepared for signing by Friday and is now awaiting signatures.
The earliest a PO for the down payment could be ready is Monday.
Contract TermsThey were not able to find a bondable painter. As a form of insurance against theft, the management at IYFM has decided that employees will provide security by watching over the painters. Junior employees have been pressured to volunteer for night duty. The volunteers will work in pairs and will help speed up the painting process by assisting with the moving of the wall coverings and furniture while secretly keeping an eye on the painters.

Instructor Case Study: InYourFaceMarketing
Scenario
Confidential: IYFM Negotiation team The painting project is just about to get under way and already there have been change requests.No one is happy with a single color for the entire office complex. Everyone wants to choose a color for their office. The CEO, Jan, was the first. Then everyone else joined in.Suddenly, the CEO is saying that the schedule is less important than the perfect color to match her new furnishings.Your friend, the procurement administrator, has been asked to negotiate color changes with the painting contractor.Jan, the CEO, does not want to pay any more than she has to. A minor slippage in the schedule would be acceptable.
Confidential: Painting ContractorYour company suddenly has a lot of work lined up. There is no way you can start painting the IYFM offices as promised. You need to negotiate a delay.Your brother-in-law owns and operates a paint store. He is able to mix small quantities of virtually any color from the Cloud White base color originally agreed to. The only increase in costs associated with changing office colors would be the slight increase in waste caused by color changes between offices.
