Procurement Policy and Manual

A consulting-deliverable skill producing a standalone organisational procurement document. It owns the document's structure, the procurement-cycle workflow, the methods-and-thresholds framework, and the East African regulatory framing — and it pulls procurement-law substance and financial controls from existing skills rather than improvising.

Use When

• A client needs a Procurement Policy, Procurement & Disposal Manual, Procurement Procedures Manual, supplier/prequalification framework, or a contract-management policy.
• Responding to an RFP/EOI for "development of a procurement policy / manual."
• Reviewing or updating procurement rules against the PPDA framework or donor requirements.

Do Not Use When

• The document is a finance manual — use advisory-deliverables/finance-policy-and-manual (procurement is one chapter there; this skill is the full standalone manual).
• Writing a bid/tender response — use proposal-skills (sectors/ppda-uganda, giz-eu-local-procurement-response, world-bank, afdb, undp).
• A pure HR or IT policy with no procurement content.

Required Inputs

Entity type and regime (PPDA-regulated public body / LG; NGO-CSO; SME; donor-funded project); legal form and registration; funding sources and any binding donor procurement rules (World Bank, USAID ADS, EU/GIZ, AfDB, UN); whether asset disposal is in scope; existing procurement rules; committee/board structure; spend profile and categories; jurisdiction (default Uganda); named approver. Never invent these — ask.
