The manual also encourages the support of local producers and small enterprises through preferential treatment. Procurement planning, a critical aspect of procurement management, is thoroughly discussed, highlighting its role in deciding what to buy, when, and from what sources. The manual underscores the importance of realistic expectations, stakeholder involvement, procurement strategy creation, time estimation, technical expertise, feasibility assessment, and process monitoring. Ultimately, the manual serves as a guide to enhance the transparency and predictability of the procurement process, making it an invaluable resource for any specific project or requirement. |
