Dimension 24.2. Procurement methods
DIMENSION MEASUREMENT GUIDANCE
24.2:1. This dimension analyzes the percentage of the total value of contracts awarded with and without competition. A good procurement system ensures that procurement uses competitive methods, except low-value procurement under an established and appropriate threshold. This includes situations in which other methods are effectively restricted by regulations or where the provisions to apply other methods are used sparingly.
24.2:2. For this dimension, the focus is to assess the actual use of competitive methods (interalia
methods that promote open participation of potential providers). Assessors need to identify (i) the extent of use of competitive methods, (ii) whether there is a threshold, and, if so, (iii) the threshold above which open competition is the default method. In addition, assessors need to identify concerns, if any, regarding the reliability of data on procurement methods and the value of contracts (e.g., statements on data completeness and accuracy by internal or external auditors), as assessed under dimension 24.1. The assessors are encouraged to mention in the narrative the percentage of the total value of contracts carried out under the set threshold.
