procurement under micro value methodology

DK

PPR 2013 (77) and (166) provides how micro procurement may be done. The method has been introduced to respond to the outcry by many PEs that items bought by individuals attracted cheaper prices compared to those obtained through tender process. Inspection of the goods purchased through this method is not mentioned but MUST NOT exceeding limits set out in 7th Schedule of PPR 2013, MUST be reported to Tender Board on monthly basis by the holder of delegated procurement authority using procedural forms issued by PPRA and also must be reported to PPRA on quarterly basis using a procedural form. On the other hand i don't see the problem for AO establishing mechanisms of inspection depending on his/her institution environment

Thanks for your response, Still i have the problem on this area of micro value procurement, does it mean only Original receipt annotated with name of officer who undertakes the procurement is needed, what about inspection committee, is there any necessary for AO to appoint members for inspecting the material or goods bought, will it be an issue to PMU if those goods purchased are under low quality but receipts shows are of high quality?

If you read the whole of regulation 166 and the 7th schedule of PPR 2013 you will find that the one responsible for ensuring value for money is obtained to the extent practicable is the the Procuring Entity (PPR 166(5)). Please take some time to read it and you will find how to deal with the issue which is all about procurement of office consumables like sugar, tea, coffee, water etc for office staff consumption. If procedures are implemented diligently, value for money may be simpler attained than other methods
