3. Instructions

Assignment Description:
In Week 3 we focus on the fourth task: Market Analysis and Market Risks. You should always assume that supply market
is always one step ahead of procuring entities in terms of technical capacity and competitive edge, due to information
asymmetry. This assumption influences how a procuring entity should approach the market strategically and also whether
the market stakeholders will find the bidding opportunity interesting or not and if so, try to use leverage to their benefit.
Task 4: starting off from findings of operational environment and PE’s capacity analysis findings you should be able to
elaborate at least one market-related risk and analyse it using one of two key tools highlighted in your weekly learning
materials: Supply positioning or Supplier Preferencing.
After pairing the risk to one of selected tools, we ask you to justify your choice by explaining key reasons behind decision.
Next, we ask you to elaborate findings, i.e., explain how (in terms of feasible and effective measures) the PE should
design and manage procurement activity given its strategic importance and level of competition on the market. Or how it
would address the way in which supplier perceive the PE and bidding opportunity relative to their business. Please refer to
corresponding quadrants (Strategic security/Strategic critical/Tactical acquisition/Tactical advantage; or in case of Supplier
Preferencing Tool: Development/Core/Nuisance/Exploitable).
The deadline for submission: 10 November 2025
