I have to say I find the question worrying. However I would suggest a different appraoch.
1. Does the company have a method statement for purchasing?
2. What is the client's policy on purchasing?
3. How big is the project? Decide what is neccessary in the circumstances. Then there are the following steps - half a dozen phone calls may achieve the desired result.
4. Get brief or discuss the scope of the work with the curator
5. Draw up list of suitable organisations and check if they wish to tender. Check their suitability to do the job.
6. Draw up a list of works and how peole are to tender for the job
7. Get quotes
8. Compare quotes so that costs are compared on a like with like basis. Rule out bids headed estimate or costings when a fixed price has been asked for.
9. Choose the contractor who is going to give the best value
10. Get method statememts and risk assessments
11. Discuss terms of contract
12. Appoint contractor
13. Check work has been undertaken
14. Agree invoice
15 Approve invoice.
My method statement can be found on Britarch.
