Main Considerations of Proficient Procurement
(i) Economy: Give the purchaser best value for money.
(ii) Efficiency: Best procurement is simple and swift, producing positive results without protracted delays.
(iii) Fairness: Impartial, consistent, and therefore reliable.
(iv) Transparency: Maintains rules and procedures that are accessible and unambiguous. It is not only fair, but should be seen to be fair.
(v) Accountability and Ethical Standards: A key deterrent to collusion and corruption, and a key prerequisite for procurement credibility.

Why is Procurement Important?Why is Procurement Important?
• In procurement terms inputs are generally grouped into three categories:
(i) Civil Works – School Infrastructure and facilities like New PS, UPS, Residential Schools, Hostel, ACR, HM Room, BRC/URC, CRC, Drinking water, Toilets, Girls Toilet, Ramps, Handrail, Electrification, Retro-fitting, Boundary wall/ fencing, Major Repairs, etc.
(ii) Goods - Typically equipment, computers, furniture, textbooks, library books, uniforms, TLE, TLM, other materials, supplies, commodities, etc.
(iii) Services – Hiring of services including academic, technical and resource support provided by institutions/organizations in all areas, research studies, third party quality evaluation of civil works, auditors etc.
• The quality, timeliness, local appropriateness and affordability of those procured inputs can largely determine whether the public investments will succeed or fail.
