A workshop hosted by the Department of Personnel Management’s Public Service Housing Team to understand the Government of Papua New Guinea’s procurement process was held on Friday the 27th of September, in Port Moresby.
Deputy Secretary Policy and Reforms Mr. Ellison Kalimet, representing Secretary Ms. Tais Sansan said that the presentation was important and he acknowledged stakeholders who attended the workshop to understand the procuring process and what it entails.
The National Procurement Commission team presented the eight main steps in procuring goods and services on behalf of the state to the Project Steering Committee & Technical Team of the Bomana Portion 1212 Public Service Housing Projects.
“This is a very important presentation as one of the resolutions that was passed for NPC is to do a presentation to the project steering committee members so that they are clearly aware of the process and guidelines” he said.
“ There will be a lot of procuring of contracts, so it is very important that those processes and guidelines have to be presented to give us a clear picture on how the tendering process is administered by the National Procurement Commission” .
“Some of us in our own respective agencies you procure and we must know the threshold limit of what our departments can procure, so those are some of the important requirements in the tendering process”.
“We are fortunate to be here today for them to give us a rundown and guidelines of the procurement process and some of the insights in what they do within NPC, especially on the tendering process”.
Deputy Secretary Kalimet said the portion 1212 is a big project for the public service that deals with a lot of money, that’s why it is important to follow the proper procurement guidelines and process to avoid any inconveniences and issues in the future.
