The process that covers the work done by external suppliers who may NOT be using PRINCE2 is "Managing Product Delivery". This process is one of the seven processes in the PRINCE2 methodology, and it focuses on the delivery of products according to the agreed quality standards, budget, and timescales.

In the Managing Product Delivery process, the project manager is responsible for ensuring that the products are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards. The project manager also needs to ensure that the products are delivered by external suppliers, if necessary.

The Managing Product Delivery process includes the following activities:

  1. Accepting a work package: The project manager accepts a work package from the Project Manager, which specifies the product to be delivered, the quality standards, budget, and timescale.

  2. Executing a work package: The supplier executes the work package, produces the product, and delivers it to the project manager.

  3. Controlling a stage: The project manager monitors the progress of the work package and takes corrective action if necessary.

  4. Managing product delivery: The project manager manages the delivery of the product, including any communication with the supplier.

It is worth noting that the Managing Product Delivery process is flexible, meaning that it can be adapted to suit the specific needs of the project. Therefore, if external suppliers are not using PRINCE2, the project manager can adapt the process to ensure that the suppliers deliver the products according to the project's quality standards, budget, and timescales.
