Many of the rules that govern project procurements are statutory but are grounded in principles of sustainability, ethics, and equity. Procurements are often significant undertakings that demand strategic awareness with knowledge of operational drivers that inform effective decisions to deliver sustained value. In this unit, students will learn how procurements operate and how these approaches assist project managers to obtain the goods or services needed to achieve appropriate outputs. Using case studies, students analyse both sides of a procurement process; the buying side where services or goods are obtained, suppliers are selected and inventory is managed; and the selling side, where companies bid to provide services or goods. Ultimately, as a project procurement creates a legal relationship, students will also gain an understanding of private and public contract and procurement laws. Throughout the unit there is a focus on how the procurement and the underpinning contract need to be integrated into all aspects of the project to ensure that the result enhances business relationships and develops strategic outcomes.

This is a Learning Unit. Learning Units engage students in regular learning activities to develop their knowledge, skills, and capabilities. The learning activities provide each student with feedback to support their development, and create evidence for each student’s progress towards achieving the learning outcomes of the course.
To meet the minimum requirements for this Learning Unit, you will actively engage in specified learning activities and produce a curated portfolio of work that demonstrates your knowledge, skills, and developmental progress toward the course learning outcomes. Further details are available in the unit Canvas site.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
The University is committed to creating an academic environment in which learning with integrity means engaging honestly, responsibly and ethically with the curriculum. Engaging in academic misconduct undermines this commitment, impedes the development of authentic knowledge and skills, and prevents meaningful learning. Academic integrity is therefore essential to the learning process and to the value of the qualifications awarded by the University.
Academic Integrity in a Learning Unit includes:
Your teaching staff will provide feedback if they have concerns that you are not acting with integrity in your learning. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are completing your work ethically.
