A flower seller and customer.
PMI uses the term seller for an entity outside of the project's organization that provides materials (e.g., supplies or equipment), services, staff or results. Sellers are also called providers, suppliers, vendors, or contractors. The transaction may be managed as a procurement, a purchase order, or governed under other, broader agreements.
Sellers are one of the roles in the project team.
The "selected selller(s)" are determined in the conduct procurements process. Some sellers may be prequalified based on guidance from an organization's procurement team or prior research. (This prequalification is part of the organizational process assets.)
