Revised Handbook of Public Sector Procurement Procedures (October, 2010)
This Handbook of Public Sector Procurement Procedures is issued under the authority of the Ministry of Finance, pursuant to Section 19B of the Financial Administration and Audit Act and the National Contracts’ Commission in accordance with the Contractor General’s Act.
This Handbook consists of four volumes which outline the procedures and methods for Public Officers engaged in planning and managing the procurement of goods, works and services on behalf of the Government of Jamaica (GoJ), in accordance with its policy on Public Sector Procurement. It also provides information for contractors to better understand GoJ procurement policies and to assist them to submit better bids and proposals, thus meeting the objectives set by GoJ.
The statements and procedures contained in the Handbook are consistent with the principles and goals of GoJ’s Policy on Public Sector Procurement. They represent the permanent foundation upon which GoJ operates.
The Handbook shall be continually updated from time to time as necessary, to reflect GoJ requirements.
The Ministry of Finance, therefore, encourages feedback from Procuring Entities, contractors and other stakeholders to assist the continued development of best practices in Public Sector procurement in Jamaica. Requests for clarification on these procedures and general comments should be sent the Procurement and Asset Policy Unit at the Ministry of Finance, c/o mofps.papu@mof.gov.jm.
