The aim of this unit is to provide an in-depth understanding of project integration and procurement management to meet stakeholder objectives. Students explore the principle of integrating the major elements of project management to control projects from charter to closure. The emphasis is the development, monitoring and control of projects in support of both project and organisational value. Procurement management focuses on that part of the project's scope of work or materials that will be bought from another organisation, either as a result of company alliance arrangements, or most often resulting from contracting or subcontracting. Purchased work packages undertaken by another firm must be well defined and managed with great care, or disputes, claims, and project delays will arise, impacting cost, schedule, and ultimately project success. As many projects require the procurement of materials, the imperatives of supply chain management are explored. Project procurement creates a legal relationship and thus there is an understanding requirement of the basics of contract law.
