Allow yourself plenty of time

Bear in mind that procurement takes time. For example, it takes about three months to draft the contract documents. There is also a statutory requirement for a minimum of 40 days of advertising. The estimated time from the receipt of a request until the procurement is between 6 and 8 months.

The Public Procurement Act

The Public Procurement Act (LOU) regulates in detail the permitted activities of public authorities with regard to the purchasing of goods or services.
