Arrange the steps for performing procurement management.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Plan, Conduct, Select, Administer, Close
The correct sequence for procurement management is Plan, Conduct, Select, Administer, and Close. This order ensures that procurement is well-defined before market engagement, vendors are evaluated after solicitation, contracts are managed after selection, and all activities are formally closed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Plan, Conduct, Select, Administer, Close
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because procurement management starts with planning the procurement approach, then conducting the procurement process (e.g., soliciting bids), selecting the vendor, administering the contract throughout the project, and finally closing the procurement.
- ✗
Conduct, Plan, Select, Administer, Close
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because the procurement process must begin with planning before conducting any solicitations or evaluations. Conducting procurement without a plan leads to inefficiencies and unclear requirements.
- ✗
Plan, Select, Conduct, Administer, Close
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because selecting a vendor cannot occur before conducting the procurement process (e.g., issuing requests, receiving proposals, and evaluating bids). Conducting must precede selection.
- ✗
Plan, Conduct, Administer, Select, Close
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because administering the contract should come after selecting the vendor, not before. Selection determines the awarded vendor, and administration manages that vendor's performance.
