Procurement consulting covers needs assessment, technical requirements, market research, tender documentation and contract management. Review the specialist’s relevant experience, consultation price and availability, then book an online meeting.
Possible topics include procurement planning, technical requirements, market research, preparing and reviewing tender documentation, evaluating offers and managing contracts.
Check the specialist’s experience with donor organizations and international financial institutions. Before the meeting, specify which organization’s rules and procedure you need to discuss.
Summarize the procurement or tender task, current stage, deadlines and questions. Consider confidentiality when sharing documents.
A consultation does not guarantee a tender award or contract. Agree the scope of service and expected work with the specialist beforehand.
