Select Wrong Vendor/contractor

Having inappropriate type of contract

Having the procurement processes done and followed probably will result with selecting the right venders, closing the best deals and writing the appropriate contract. Doing so will ensure that all goods, services, technologies and deliverables required by the project will be on time and executed probably within the project time plan. All of these will conclude a successful project, failing to do so, will crucially affect the project and lead to its fail
