understand procurement stages and the architect's role in each.
Planned topics
- Typical stages: need and requirements, market scan (RFI), formal request (RFP), evaluation, negotiation, contract, onboarding.
- Procurement owns the commercial process and fairness; legal owns contract terms; the architect advises on technical needs and risk.
- Fairness rules matter: the same information and criteria for all vendors, documented decisions.
- Involve the architect before the RFP is written, not after.
