The proposed amendment is seeking to delete the word “shall” and replace it with some statement. In procurement, it is important for an accounting officer, or a procuring entity, to prepare specific requirements related to the goods, works or services being procured. The requirements should be clear and give a correct and complete description. It is important and it makes sense for him to drop that bit. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also support the amendment to the effect that the tenderer should be communicated to immediately after the evaluation process. It is important to know the outcome of the process. view
