HRD have now realised that they need some additional specialist advice in order to continue with this scheme.

You have been commissioned to provide that advice, and you are required to prepare a referenced report in which you provide HRD with the following:

(1) Part 1. A reasoned discussion about the approach to stakeholder management on this project. You should identify 5 key stakeholders that you think that the client will have to engage with and justify identify which stakeholder management approach would be best for the client to adopt

(2) Part 2. Your proposals on how the project should be organised and managed from hereon in, discussing the major tasks/activities that should be undertaken. These proposals should include an evaluation of the most appropriate form of procurement route for this particular project.

(NB – You should consider the three most common forms of procurement in coming to your decision, but you do not need to provide a detailed explanation of each one.)

(3) Part 3. A linked bar chart project plan, prepared using MS Project, Primavera or similar, showing the main activities/tasks that will have to be undertaken in order to execute your above-mentioned proposals for designing and constructing this development. (You must focus on the pre-construction period rather than the construction period.) This programme should show critical activities and free float. You will need to ensure that the project plan can be easily read in electronic format and that it is usable for the client.

(The weightings for parts 1, 2 & 3 are 30%, 50% & 20% respectively.
