Overview/Background

Negotiated Procurement is a method of procurement of Goods whereby the Procuring Entity directly negotiates a contract with a technically, legally and financially capable supplier (IRR-A Section 53).

The latter portion of the above definition indicates the advisability for the existence of a registry of suppliers maintained and updated by the Procuring Entity. Moreover, particularly in the cases of emergency procurement, the suppliers from whom goods are procured should be in good standing, and have not committed any breach of contract (e.g., short deliveries, unreasonable delays in delivery of goods, delivery of defective goods, or similar acts) in previous transactions with the Procuring Entity or other government entity. It is the responsibility of the Procuring Entity, through the procurement office, to monitor contract implementation as well as constantly coordinate with the GPPB-TSO for updates on blacklisted suppliers.
