Conditions for use of restricted tendering
(1) |
A procuring entity may engage in procurement by means of restricted tendering in accordance with regulation 34, when—
(a) |
competition for the contract, because of the complex or specialised nature of the goods, works or services, should be limited to prequalified candidates; or
|
(b) |

|
|
(2) |
The conditions referred to in subregulation (1) shall in any case be considered to be fulfilled when the estimated value of the contract does not exceed the authorized threshold as set out in the Second Schedule.
|
|
19. |
Conditions for use of direct procurement
(1) |
The procuring entity may use direct procurement in accordance with regulation 35 if this method is not resorted to with a view to avoiding possible competition or in a manner which would constitute a means of discrimination among candidates—

(b) |
for the purchase of goods, works or services in times of national emergency or disaster.

|
20. |
Conditions for use of request of proposals
The procuring entity may engage in procurement by means of request for proposals in accordance with regulation 36 when it seeks to obtain consulting services or combinations of goods and services for which open or restricted tendering is not suitable because of the difficulty in defining precisely the services.
|
21. |
Conditions for use of request for quotations
The procuring entity may engage in procurement by means of request for quotations in accordance with regulation 37 for the purchase of readily available goods or for procurement of works or services for which there is an established market, so long as the estimated value of the contract does not exceed the amount set out in the Second Schedule.
