Description
Summary:This case presents the challenges faced by EIPOA's project manager, João, in managing the relationship with an external service provider. To implement the Pension Funds Reporting System project, EIPOA launched a public procurement tender and the winning proposal was selected based on cost and price. This case highlights the potential downside risks of subcontracting a project, including the unknown quality of the contractor, changes on price, and extension of the project's lifetime. The case also explores possible mechanisms to mitigate the project risk and evaluates the current public procurement procedures of European agencies. João faced a challenging situation as he wanted to improve the quality of the project and adhere to the deadline previously defined. He is unclear whether he should propose canceling the contract, or not.
