Development of Strategy and Commercial Documents Sample Clauses

Development of Strategy and Commercial Documents. 20 Any outsourcing arrangement must allow Networks to focus on its core businesses and 21 meet its strategic objectives. Networks is considering all market options and risks 22 associated with contract length and number of suppliers. Senior management explored the 23 risks associated with the outsourcing strategy at two workshops, one held in December 24 2012 and another held in April 2013. The key risks discussed at these workshops were (a) 25 the possibility of an inadequate response from the market, (b) the complexity of 26 managing a multi-supplier environment, (c) challenges in transitioning to the successful 27 supplier(s), and (d) possible claims by unsuccessful proponents that the procurement 28 process was not fair and transparent. Key mitigation strategies that Networks has 1 employed to minimize these risks are actions such as engaging outsourcing advisors, 2 communicating openly and frequently with potential suppliers, requiring potential 3 suppliers to address transition challenges, and having Internal Audit conduct an 4 independent review of the procurement process. The risks are reviewed at the various 5 committees within the governance structure on an ongoing basis to ensure that mitigation 6 is occurring and is effective. 8 With the results of the workshops and guidance from external advisors and lines of 9 businesses, the outsourcing strategy was developed. The strategy is based on the 10 following key objectives: 11 12 (a) continually improve value received for money spent; 13 (b) reflect current global best practices in the outsourced services; 14 (c) ensure effective and robust performance management and governance; and 15 (d) maximize Networks’ flexibility to adjust volumes and scope of work and the 16 technology employed to perform it. 18 All of these objectives reflect Networks’ commitment to continuous improvement in 19 productivity which should drive its overall operational and cost effectiveness. The last 20 objective also provides Networks the flexibility to respond to customer preferences, 21 which may change over time. 23 This phase involved formulating clear expectations for the next outsourcing contract(s), 24 including a contract term of 5 years with 2 one-year extensions at Networks’ option.
