SOLE SOURCE – PROVE TO BE ONE

Manufacturers and their representatives from one side and state authorities from the other are always looking for a possibility not to have to enter the complicated process of open tender, but instead, to sign direct agreements on products or services delivery. Direct procurement of the product or service from one (sole) manufacturer or its representative is called Sole Source procurement. Wishing to apply Sole Source type of procurement, both manufacturers (representatives) and state authorities face one obstacle: proof that the particular product or service being provided is only one possible to secure operational tasks of the authority. The ability to prove this is critical on the way to direct agreement.

SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT
