We have qualified staff who can help you manage your orders.
Each order moves through a disciplined, auditable process, documented procedures, defined approval thresholds and clear specifications, so donors and partners can trust the paper trail behind every purchase.
Procurement Procedures, Donor Requirements and Authorized Spending
Documented procurement procedures ensure that all goods, services and construction work are sourced, directly or in kind, in accordance with donor policy and applicable law. These standards are designed to meet the requirements of most donors, while accounting for exceptions in individual donor contracts.
- Spending verified as eligible under each contract's specific rules
- Procurement completed within donor-required eligibility windows
- Exceptions in individual donor contracts identified and accounted for
Procurement Methods and Thresholds: Emergency Response
During the initial period of an emergency response, typically under three months, the procurement method follows a defined framework of value thresholds. Any deviation from standard procedure requires validation before work begins, and competitive bidding may be suspended where the situation demands it.
Direct Purchase
Used for the lowest-value, most time-sensitive needs, allowing goods or services to be secured immediately without a competitive process.
Competitive Request for Quotation
Applied as transaction value rises, inviting multiple suppliers to quote so price and terms remain transparent and comparable.
Invitation to Tender
Reserved for higher-value contracts, with a formal, documented process that satisfies the strictest donor and audit requirements.
Specifications
Specifications for goods and services are detailed clearly throughout sourcing, precise enough to express our needs, without unnecessarily limiting the field of qualified suppliers.
- Requirements defined precisely enough to avoid ambiguity
- Field of qualified suppliers kept open rather than narrowed unnecessarily
- Specifications checked against delivered goods before sign-off
