The Public Procurement Commission (PPC) is notifying all public procurement agencies of the legal requirement to submit copies of their procurement manuals so that their plans can be reviewed and approved.
The PPC is responsible for “determining the forms of documents for procurement including, but not limited to procurement manuals, guidelines and procedures – Section 17(2) (b) (v) of the Procurement Act, Chapter 73:05… Public procuring entities are therefore reminded of their obligation to submit all procurement manuals, guidelines and procedures to the PPC for review and approval,” a notice last Sunday from the PPPC in the state owned Guyana Chronicle read.
“The commission urges you to submit your procurement manuals, guidelines and procedures in a timely manner to ensure compliance with the law, established standards and to facilitate a streamlined procurement process,” it added.
