Procurements less than £25K

A new guide is now available, to assist individuals procuring non-framework goods and services with a total value less than £25,000. Individuals must ensure no local or collaborative contracts held on GeM exist prior to initiating a procurement process.

The guide explains an effective procurement process for tenders less than £25,000 and the steps which should be taken to achieve a competitive, innovative and ethical business award. Users will find templates to:

• Build a brief and specification
• Invite suppliers to quote
• Log all supplier responses
• Evaluate responses

There are also templates for supplier communications during the quote process and instructions on retaining auditable information.

Users will note that the quote process has also been updated and verbal quotations are no longer accepted for any quoting activity. All quotes must now be received in writing and retained for auditing purposes.

If users have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Procurement Office.
