Manage two different RFI in any project

Depending on the policies and standards of the organization, procurement departments are there to provide the expertise on contract management in support of the team, but the team is still expected to provide critical inputs into the procurement process and to be the first point of contact for contracted vendors.

The specific roles & responsibilities do tend to vary by organization - in some, procurement requires that teams and PMs maintain an arms-length distance from vendors whereas in others procurement merely plays an advisory role.

Hi Stephane, yes RFI is for any project, But RFI ( Request For Info) shall issue from PM only and Procurement Manager can raise issue for procurement items but there are many other aspects such as mobilization, HSE , QA/QC, Permits, Environment Impact, etc. not under Procurement Department and Procurement Head can not be lead for such aspects... what do you think?
