Question 15(b) on the procedure used by KNTC to identify and prequalify companies which import the goods, the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) through its letter to the National Treasury reference as captioned in the documents dated 18th November 2022 confirmed that procurement for commodities for normal business trading does not constitute procurement in the meaning construed under Section 2 of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2022. KNTC procurement is organised in two sets; for internal use and consumption, the transaction will be subject to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal law. Transactions for trading items are progressed outside the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal framework with proper financing and accounting procedures put in place. This is recognizing that KNTC is a commercial organisation that survives on trading, getting the best offers and suppliers from the market, selling at the best price, and does not receive any funding from the Exchequer for that purpose. The procedure is as follows – (i) In accordance with the timelines indicated by the clients, the manager of the sales division raises and signs appropriate purchase requisitions to initiate the procurement process. (b) The manager sales division with the support of the supply chain division shall at the same time prepare specifications for the items to be procured. The experts in the department develop specifications or establishment of an internal team to prepare the specifications. (c) The purchase requisition and the specific specifications are forwarded to the head of finance for the commitment of funds. (d) Upon commitment of funds by the finance, the procurement requisition and specifications including any other relevant information are submitted to the managing director for approval. (e) The purchase requisition is submitted to the supply chain division to commence the procurement process. (f) Quotations or bids are then received, opened, and evaluated and an opinion is prepared in line with the profit margin analysis recommendation for the accounting officers’ approval. (g) A purchase officer order or a contract agreement is executed and issued expeditiously. (h) Then the manager of the supply chain division liaises with the suppliers and on the delivery schedule for the supply of ensuring the smooth working of the Ad Hoc inspection and acceptance team. (i) Only trading items that meet the corporation’s requirements are accepted and taken on board."
