Pilot project starting point
Describe the current laboratory work and the purpose of the proposed pilot project. Distinguish development samples from material intended for later evaluation.
Use pilot project brief to describe the decision your project team needs to make and the material or output it wants reviewed. Separate the requested outcome from the observations your own reviewers will assess. Ask the bidder to identify unanswered questions in that target description and to relate its response to the same project objective before commercial scope is discussed. Identify the review question associated with the requested output so that the proposed scope can be assessed against the purpose of the enquiry.
Pilot separation inputs
Prepare the existing method summary and the intended feed description. Ask what additional information is needed to assess a pilot equipment request.
Organize pilot method package around the current method description, the observations available for disclosure and the questions still unresolved. Identify the author or owner of the method record so that requests for additional information reach the appropriate project role. Ask which parts of the proposed work depend on further method information, and keep those questions attached to the current method discussion. Ask the method owner to mark documents that describe completed work separately from proposed changes awaiting a laboratory decision.
Pilot collection requirements
Describe how your team wants collected material identified and transferred. Request the proposed collection arrangement and its relationship to your sampling plan.
In pilot collection plan, specify the labels needed to connect collected material with the starting sample and the intended review. Describe the record fields your laboratory needs, including the project reference and the description of the material presented for assessment. Ask for a proposed record layout and have the laboratory compare it with the way it plans to receive and interpret the results. Include a request to distinguish the starting material identifier from the identifiers proposed for subsequently collected samples and their accompanying records.
Pilot equipment scope
Identify the equipment already available at your site and the boundaries of the requested package. Ask bidders to itemize the pilot proposal accordingly.
For pilot scope schedule, identify the requested items individually and describe the boundary of each item in plain language. Ask the bidder to mark the equipment or work addressed by its response and identify any requested element needing separate discussion. Keep the proposed scope connected to the project brief so that a price comparison relates to the same requested equipment or work. Request separate identification of requested items that remain open for discussion so that they can be reviewed without obscuring the proposed inclusions.
