Procurement Policy #6

Open andylolz opened 7 years ago

andylolz commented 7 years ago

Description

An organisation’s procurement procedures explain the process used to tender and contract (invite bids for) goods and services.

As previously, documents will be manually checked to verify that they contain the required information to score for the indicator.

Proposed test

`document-link/category[@code="B05"]` should be present
AndieVaughn commented 7 years ago

We recommend that organization file documents for CY and CY-1 are accepted for organizational file documents.

There is a possibility that donors could score differently each year just based on the timing of the Index and when specific reports are published. That penalty wouldn’t make sense. For example, if the cut-off for published data is December 31st and updated strategies come out in the spring, the reviewed strategy would be for the previous year and not the current year, even though another one would be in development and just short of publication. Given fiscal years vary, a grace period of an additional 12 months makes sense when performing manual checks.

Thanks for the feedback here. This test will remain as proposed.

On the question of a grace period for organisation documents: We do accept procurement policies that explicitly cover the current year. Further details will be provided in the technical paper outlining the new methodology in its entirety.
