Identify which vendor you want to award the outsourcing contract to, justifying why that vendor was chosen.

In the identification, the assignment of the contract of outsourcing to vendors is discussed as well as a brief justification is also mentioned why this vendor is chosen for the outsourcing contract. First of all, the company will see and observe the overall performance of the prior services of the vendors, and then a comparison is performed to see the payment of dues or the fee, the company will also observe whether he has the resources as well as the technology for this agreement. Furthermore, he should also have the ability to meet the deadlines, limited liabilities as well as trustworthiness. The contract will be assigned to the supply chain vendor.

The justification on this topic is that the company should have to grant the contract for outsourcing to that vendor who will have the mentioned abilities because the company will never want to get any kind of loss in the business.

Recommend modifications to the chosen vendor’s bid, amending key weaknesses and oversights in the selected vendor’s response to the RFP (i.e., the “Synesthor_Response to Request for Proposal” or the “Bullzai_Response to Request for Proposal” attachment) and justifying how the recommended modifications will benefit your company.

The key weakness of the supply chain vendor, for the break down to stall your ability to make the profits or revenue as well as delivering the products because the vendor only takes part in the supply chain. It should also focus on the related works as well as should have an oversight on the related departments. The major weakness is that if the vendor cannot get the supplies, the breakdown of the machine, the sales crashes, he will not able to locate the inventory in the warehouse.  

Summarize how a problem-solving negotiation strategy could be used to renegotiate the weaknesses and oversights identified in part F.

The problem-solving negotiation technique is very useful for renegotiating the weaknesses of which are identified before. Every business needs negotiation on the recognized problems because these are the weaknesses of the company business as well as the weaknesses of the system or the software because these kinds of problems can damage and destroy the whole system as well as it can also affect the workability of the system or business. The negotiation to solve the problem is essential technique because some other kinds of unexpected problems can also be identified that are most dangerous for the system. Furthermore, the negotiation for renegotiating the problems is useful technique because you can easily find the new problems as well as it can make the things easy for you to implement the new system as well as making the business strategy better.

Recommend training to mitigate misunderstandings in cultural communication that may arise between Endothon and the chosen outsourcing vendor.

I recommend you to train for the mitigation of misunderstandings within the cultural communication that may arise among the Endothon. In the first step, you should avoid making or asses the conclusion first, or you should avoid making any kind of judgments. Give everyone time for speaking because sometimes the employees can give a very strong reason or very strong points to overcome or avoidance from the misunderstanding. The whole team along with the team leaders as well as the managers must have to be united in the sense of vision and mission. You should have to make your communication clear, straight as well as transparent because most the misunderstandings are generated from the unclear communication.
