4 What is RFP? What are the types of consultancy contract?

Answer : A request for proposal (RFP) is a document that an organization posts to elicit bids from potential vendors for a product or service. For example, a new business or a business moving from a paper-based system to a computer-based system might request proposals for all the hardware, software, and user training required to establish and integrate the new system into the organization. Another business might draft an RFP for a custom-written computer application they wanted to outsource.

5 Briefly explain the areas of risk and causes of risk in contracts. Briefly describe five conditions for termination of a contract?

Answer : The perception of risk is relative. To some, risk is simply an element in a financial model used to predict reasonable economic decisions but to others, risk is a broader concept — a key business interest — used to maximize profit through effective capital management.

Contract professionals must embrace the broader view of risk due to the rising profile of supply chain risks within our organizations.

6 What is outsourcing? What are its benefits and draw backs? Write short notes on contract compliances?

Answer : Outsourcing is a business strategy that moves some of an organization’s functions, processes, activities and decision responsibility from within an organization to outside providers.  This is done through negotiating contract agreements with a vendor who takes on the responsibility for the production process, people management, quality, customer service and key asset management of the function.  The process can greatly reduce fixed overhead costs of an organization.
