Which process involves obtaining bids or proposals from sellers and selecting a supplier?

• A. Conduct Procurements.
• B. Plan Procurements
• C. Close Procurements
• D. Control Procurements

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding of which project procurement management process involves inviting seller bids or proposals and choosing who to hire. In PMI terms, Plan Procurements is about defining what to procure and how to approach contracts, not about engaging with sellers. Conduct Procurements is the phase where you solicit responses, evaluate bids or proposals against criteria, select a supplier, and negotiate and award the contract. This matches the described activity of obtaining bids or proposals and selecting a supplier. Close Procurements focuses on finalizing and closing contracts, while Control Procurements is about managing contract performance and relationships during execution.
