You are assigned the tasks which assess your knowledge gained about different facets of contract and procurement management.

Tasks
There are two types of tasks, namely tasks for the written assessment and tasks for the peer evaluation (assessment) as per details given below:

Part A - Written Assessment (Report):

You need to submit a business report in Word format into Moodle in Week 6. You are to complete the following tasks using the case study provided on Moodle website (Refer Case Study document):
• Critically analyse and propose the most suitable procurement route for the project (case study). You will be given the characteristics of the client, project limitations, constraints etc.
• Justify the chosen procurement route and explain why it is the most suitable to make the project successful.
• Advise on the best suitable contractual agreements for parties involved to compliment the procurement option.
• Critically analyse and propose the contract type and explain why it is the most suitable to make the project successful. Also discuss the risks associated and the key components which must be covered in the selected contract.
• Your report should include thorough analysis with supporting evidence and discussion.

Part B - Peer Assessment:
The peer assessment aims to enhance your understanding and allows you to learn from this assessment by exchanging knowledge with your peers (10%) and consider the following:

• You are required to assess one submission by your peers which will be randomly and anonymously assigned to you.
• You will be asked to submit your evaluation report along with the constructive feedback and comments.
• Failing to submit the evaluation report leads to zero grade for this part.
