1.0 INTRODUCTION It is an accepted fact that in service oriented institutions; the efficiency of operations is closely related to the efficiency of “materials management”. Materials management covers the procurement function, the inventory control and supplies activities. In a savings cooperative SACCO like SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD, there is need for timely supply of materials, goods, services, works and other inputs for efficient operation and running of programmes and projects.

1.1 Justification The SACCO has operated from inception without a clearly defined procurement policy but with the growth and development plus expansion of operations both in area covered and activities It is therefore, necessary to develop a ‘SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD Procurement Policy’ to cover the procurement issues to be addressed, not only by the Procurement Division, but also by all the employees of SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD who are involved in the procurement of goods and services, either as persons responsible for initiating a purchase requisition or as an actual user of goods at the HQ or Branches.

This Procurement policy is a statement of procedures, guidelines, instructions, rules and regulations to be followed by the organization for the purpose of optimizing the efficiency of procurement, and thereby increase the value for money.

It is important to note that the procurement process should not be a barrier or carefree / loose as to hinder the performance of the SACCO in relation to purchase and acquisition of goods, services and works.

1.2 Citation These rules may be cited as SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD procurement policy (herein referred to as ‘SACCO procurement policy’ to regulate and outline the processes and procedures to be followed by the Sacco in carrying out the procurement and disposal of goods, services & works function

1.3 Definition Procurement is the process of acquisition and delivery of the required Goods and services, by purchase, lease, hire purchase, license, tenancy, franchise or by any other contractual means of any type of works, assets services or goods in any combination.

1.4 General Objective of Procurement The objective of procurement is providing the right quality of goods and services, in the right quantities, from the right sources, at the right prices and at the right time.

1.5 Specific Objectives of SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD Procurement Policy. a) Spell out standard procurement practices and procedures b) Provide easily understood advice, guidance and operation instructions on all matters

relating to procurement of goods, services and works within the SACCO c) Specify duties and responsibilities of SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD personnel involved in

the procurement process. d) Introduce procurement guidelines applicable to SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD as both as a

community based Institution and an Organization guided, bound and regulated by various laws and rules from relevant government agencies.

e) Facilitate harmonious interaction of the procurement Division with other Divisions both at the Headquarters and branches.

f) Facilitate efficient accountability of funds availed for acquisition of Goods and Services.

g) Inculcate a professional approach to procurement with the view to obtaining best value for money.

h) Act as a basic training tool in procurement, for SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD employees/officials, and a reference document for persons involved in making procurement decisions within SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD

i) Facilitate ease of monitoring and the audit within SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD

1.6 Scope of application This guideline will apply to all and sundry that will at whatever time find themselves involved in carrying out a procurement function for and on behalf of the Sacco So as to ensure that procurement/acquisition of goods and services is done in the most effective, transparent, competent and cost effective way

1.7 Deviation Any deviation from the guide will require clear documented reasons and the alternate method(s) used retained in the SACCO’s records for reference

2.0 PROCUREMENT ADMINISTRATION The Sacco will put in place a proper structure to oversee and ensure the procurement function is properly administered-this will entail administrative structures at both the operational level [staff] and governance level [Board]

2.1 The procurement Division

This function should be in place to ensure smooth operation, centralization, responsibility and accountability. The function as proposed will be manned by at a procurement committee with duties as spelt hereunder;

Page 7: TENDER AND PROCUMENT MANUAL - …€¦ · 22.1 Documentation & preparation of Works ... 22.2 Assets management Responsibility ... The Sacco will put in place a proper structure to

7

2.2 Role of Procurement committee

Will oversee formulation of processes needed in the rundown to a procurement process on a day-to-day basis. He/she will be the link between the HQ and the branches, in relation to identification and authentication of needs, servicing their requisitions, delivery and dispatch goods and on the other hand, be the link between the various suppliers of goods and services and SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD

The Procurement committee (PC) reports to the Board – SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD which will advise the CEO on matters relating to procurement. The PC shall –

i. Be responsible for the procurement functions in SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD and put in

place procurement procedures and regulations acceptable to the management and compliant with government guidelines and regulations.

ii. Provide guidance to the Board and endeavor to ensure that efficient procurement systems are in place and are adhered to.

iii. Formulate timely procurement plans, review existing procedures, supervise daily procurement function, develop and maintain reporting systems and coordinate the efforts of consultants, contractors, suppliers and SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD officials to monitor the progress on procurement functions and activities

iv. Liaise very closely with the SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD Finance Department in relation to budgeting, ordering or contracting and payments to suppliers

v. Prepare bidding documents, draft evaluation reports in conjunction with an evaluation team and prepare recommendations for award of contract. Submit the same for review by the PC which will present them for approval by the Board.

vi. Oversee maintenance of all SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD assets including buildings etc. vii. Ensure safe custody of procurement documents and records

An evaluation team will always be formulated when a procurement process is ongoing –the team should have a minimum of three [3] and a maximum of five [5] members depending on need and technical nature of goods or services.

2.3 The CEO is not part of the procurement committee but ensure timely

procurement of goods and services for proper functioning of the organization

3.0 SIMBA CHAI PROCUREMENT COMMITTEE

Will be an adhoc committee and the composition as well as mandate of the procurement committee and the financial limits applicable are summarized below.

Page 8: TENDER AND PROCUMENT MANUAL - …€¦ · 22.1 Documentation & preparation of Works ... 22.2 Assets management Responsibility ... The Sacco will put in place a proper structure to

8

3.1 Composition of Tender and Procurement Committee:

Chairman - Deputy Chairman - Secretary - Members (Optional) -

Voting will be by simple majority

Three Members must be present (including the chairman of the Committee to

constitute a quorum) Note: membership will not be permanent unless in situations where the member has specific technical knowledge desirable to the committee. The tender committee is free to co-opt other members or summon any person whose contribution is deemed essential to the committee

3.2 Role and Responsibility

SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD procurement Committee shall be: - i. To award contracts through open tender, restricted tenders, request for

proposals and/or quotations or direct procurement where the contract value exceeds Kshs.100, 000/= per item/batch/category of items per financial year.

ii. To review tender documents and requests for proposals/quotations or direct procurement where the contract value exceeds Kshs.100, 000/= per item.

iii. To award contracts through open tender, for renting, hiring, letting or sub-letting of buildings and other facilities by SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD.

iv. To evaluate and recommend for award bids through open tender for sale of SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD surplus, obsolete or unserviceable stores

v. To verify variations of contract conditions and features.

3.3 Conflict of interest A person will be deemed to have a conflict of interest where: -

i. The said person or relative seeks or has direct or indirect pecuniary interest in another person who seeks a contract for procurement.

Page 9: TENDER AND PROCUMENT MANUAL - …€¦ · 22.1 Documentation & preparation of Works ... 22.2 Assets management Responsibility ... The Sacco will put in place a proper structure to

9

3.4 Guarding against conflicts of interest A member of staff within the procurement division or otherwise, member of the Board within the tender committee or otherwise or any agent of the Sacco who has a conflict of interest with respect to a procurement

a) Shall disclose the nature of interest likely to give rise to a conflict of interest

within the procurement process b) Shall not take part in the procurement process c) Shall not, after the procurement contract has been entered into, take part in any

decision relating to the said contract

4.0 PROCUREMENT METHODS Emphasis must be put to ensure the procurement process is as open as possible and this is possible with use of the open tendering but circumstances may dictate use of other methods as highlighted below but always the pillars of a procurement process as indicated in 3. Above must be maintained at all costs.

4.1 Open tendering

Will be used where the likely suppliers are free to tender and in most cases its where it may be for goods or services that are common and expectations are that these likely tenderers are not very many

4.2 Restricted tendering

Will be used where certain factors such as nature of goods or services, time frame and costs of the process in general so dictate. The Sacco will seek to restrict tendering to a few suppliers if any or combination of the mentioned factors is in play

4.3 Direct procurement/Purchase

Will be used where the goods being sourced are either of low cost [as per set ceiling], repeat orders and especially with prequalified suppliers or due to urgent nature of need to be met-however, any direct purchase above the set ceiling will have the express authority of the Board.

4.4 Request for proposals The Sacco may use this method where the subject matter is not very familiar or is a first time undertaking-the idea is the proposals presented end up assisting the procuring entity to come up with the specifications from gleaned information

4.5 Request for quotations

The Sacco may use this method where the procuring entity requests from a selected number of suppliers to present quotes on a given item[s] making it easy to have a feel of what might end up being the actual cost-the Sacco will be able to analyze the quotes for a guideline especially for procurement of new or unfamiliar goods, services or works

5.0 THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS

Procurement is a series of different steps or processes. Depending on the source and the nature of goods or services the procurement process applied may vary. However, sources and products do not alter the principles of procurement but merely emphasize transparency, efficiency and fair competition in the procurement exercise. Given below is a functional chart of procurement process:

Action Basis/Justification

1. RECEIPT OF USER REQUIREMENTS -

With full specifications, Quantities - Justification of need

2. DECISION ON METHOD OF PROCUREMENT

Estimated cost Provision in the budget/provisions - Nature of goods, urgency

3. ISSUE OF ENQUIRY Request for Quotations Formal Inquiries Standard Bidding Documents

4. EVALUATION OF BIDS

Receipt of Bids, bid opening Evaluation; Preliminary Examination technical

evaluation & Price Comparison Review of evaluation by MTC

5. NOTIFICATION OF AWARD CONTRACT

Letter of notification to successful bidder Receipt of Proforma Invoice

6. CONTRACTING

Local Purchase Order Contracts for sale of Goods Contract Form, submission of performance

guarantee. Return bid bonds to all bidders

6.0 STAGES OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS The following are the different stages of a procurement process apart from pre-purchase activities like planning, provisioning and budgeting.

6.1 Notification Phase

Requisitions or bills of materials are received from stores (to replenish the stocks of fast moving items) or user programmes and branches duly authorized by the responsible officer, in any of he following forms.

6.2 Local purchases or requisition

A local Purchase, Requisition, or an internal memo from branches to the procurement Division, requesting for supply of goods or services will indicate: -

Page 11: TENDER AND PROCUMENT MANUAL - …€¦ · 22.1 Documentation & preparation of Works ... 22.2 Assets management Responsibility ... The Sacco will put in place a proper structure to

11

(a) Detailed specifications (b) Unit of measurement (c) Quantity and (d) Estimated cost of the goods if possible [for repeat orders].

6.3 Authority to incur expenditure [AIE]

This rests with the Board but it can delegate to the CEO who may authorize purchase of the required goods or upon receiving the evaluation report if the cost is not more than Ksh.100, 000.00 shillings-in the event of the cost being higher, the matter should be referred to the Board for approval of a direct purchase or constitution of a tender committee.

6.4 Actual purchases

At all time and where need allows an order will be raised by the Financial manager’s office in triplicate where a copy will be left in that office, a copy given to supplier and the Procurement committee. All LPOs [Local Purchase Orders] & LSOs [Local Service Orders] must be signed by three signatories –these are the CEO, Finance Manager (Treasurer) and the Chairman

6.5 Stocking & Re-order levels

The Sacco will establish through the procurement division the optimum & economic order quantity through reorder levels, maximum stock holding level and proper forecast plus planning to avoid holding of excess stock or hand to mouth purchasing 7.0 TERMINATION OF PROCUREMENT PROCEEDINGS The Sacco may at any time terminate a procurement process without entering into contract and give prompt notice of the termination to each person who submitted a tender proposal quotation or in direct procurement all those engaged in negotiations. Such termination may be occasioned by any

a) Factors likely to influence the outcome and negatively impact on the same b) Changed circumstances, demand, requirements, budgets etc

8.0 ANNUAL PROCUREMENT PLANNING/ESTIMATES It is useful to indicate the possible source of supply, particularly, if goods are of a specialized nature. At the end of each financial year [Budget preparation], branches will submit to procurement committee the estimated annual material requirements, to be incorporated in the annual procurement plan for the following year.

Page 12: TENDER AND PROCUMENT MANUAL - …€¦ · 22.1 Documentation & preparation of Works ... 22.2 Assets management Responsibility ... The Sacco will put in place a proper structure to

12

9.0 DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFICATION & DETAILS The procurement section will develop specifications in close consultation with the users, a description of goods or services to a level that will elicit positive response from suppliers. It involves physical description of goods and their performance requirement. a) Physical/inherent characteristics of the required items. b) Performance requirement of the item i.e. the intended use of the item. c) Example, when a computer is being requisitioned, the following details should be

provided in the specification:

Maximum hard disk capacity Processor speed. Type/Brand of Hardware Packing specifications Instruction manual in English Language

The Sacco will always source goods from authorized dealers unless otherwise agreed by

the tendering committee.

10.0 INVITATION FOR BID/QUATIONS The Procurement Section will recommend the method of procurement for the required items, depending on quantities, costs and past buys whether the sourcing shall be though competitive bidding or direct purchase. This will determine the nature of inquiry to be used for purposes of obtaining suppliers’ offers. An inquiry can be in the following forms;

a) In the case of local purchase: A simple letter of invitation addressed to a set of prospective local suppliers, giving the specifications of the materials required, the unit and quantity required, place of delivery etc, and requesting the suppliers to quote the best price.

b) In the case of Competitive bidding: The letters of invitation are

issued to established suppliers, who are either registered or have successfully dealt with SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD, requesting them to offer their best quotation for the materials.

10.1 Safeguarding the process

No tenderer should make any unsolicited communications to the Sacco or its agents that might be construed as an attempt to influence the evaluation and comparison of tenders, proposals or quotations

No officer or agent of the Sacco who is not part of the evaluation process shall attempt to influence that evaluation and comparison

Page 13: TENDER AND PROCUMENT MANUAL - …€¦ · 22.1 Documentation & preparation of Works ... 22.2 Assets management Responsibility ... The Sacco will put in place a proper structure to

26.0 ASSET MANAGEMENT & DISPOSAL

Overview Fixed asset management is a major function that will be carried out jointly by the procurement Division and the Finance Division, to enhance control and accountability over SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD’s fixed assets. The SACCO has a substantial investment in fixed assets and it is important to ensure these assets are properly managed and safeguarded fixed assets are tangible assets with a defined value or cost, capable of being used over a period of time. It is therefore very important to monitor the use of these assets on a long-term basis. The prime objective of Asset management is to design a system of asset accounting tailored for use in SIMBA CHAI SACCO LTD, to maintain a permanent record of assets purchased. Financial records and data are designed to maintain the value of fixed assets based on the normal classification or grouping of assets. In the Annual Accounts, one of the important Schedules to be included for the purpose of audit is the schedule of fixed assets.

Asset Accounting is part of Procurement process & management: It is necessary to maintain records of fixed assets, and the cost centres, i.e. branches & departments. In order to monitor the fixed assets, regular reports will be prepared by the individual branches and headquarters. as outlined below:

i. Quarterly summary of additions to fixed assets – local Purchase: This is

prepared by the branches to report the additions to fixed asset. Separate reports are prepared for the individual category of fixed asset. The same report, when consolidated, forms a part of the supporting schedule for the schedule of fixed assets.

ii. Clearly mark or label the said assets with a serial identification number with details of point of use and tear of purchase for ease of monitoring, care and maintenance

iii. Compile a record of any obsolete, unserviceable or surplus store equipment or goods and forward it to the Procurement committee.

26.1 Disposal Committee

a) Transfer to another entity or part of a public entity with or without

financial adjustment b) Donation or giveaways c) Sale by public tender subject to a reserve price or otherwise d) Sale by public auction subject to a reserve price or otherwise e) Destruction, dumping or burying f) Trade in

CONTRACT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR PROCURING ENTITIES The Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005 came into force on 1st January 2007 vide legal notice No. 171 and the Regulations were gazetted vide legal notice No. 174 of 29th December 2006 and are now operational. In accordance with the Act and Regulations, procuring entities are required to submit several reports to the Public Procurement Oversight Authority (PPOA).

Whereas the content for some of the reports is contained in the Act and Regulations, this is not so for others. Arising from that, for each of the four instances where PE’s should report, PPOA has identified the content, format and duration within which each report should be submitted to ensure uniformity in reporting as follows: -

It is envisaged that PPOA will come up with a simple and user friendly electronic method for filing and posting contract awards. However, as we progress to the envisioned scenario, procuring entities are required to submit the following details of contracts awarded quarterly within 14 days of the next quarter by way of reports:

Tender/Contract Number – should be serialized and have some semblance to the tender number. Tender particulars – the comprehensive description and title of the tender proceedings. Status – may vary from preparation, pre-qualification or expressions of interest, tendering, evaluation, award, execution and completion. Procurement method - method used to source for the supplier/contractor e.g. national or international tender (open or restricted), direct e.t.c. Invitation date – date pre-qualification or request for expression of interest was published.

Publication of contracts awarded will enhance transparency in a great way and keep Kenyans updated on the Governments’ achievements and the progress of public procurement reforms.

The format will be modified in the near future to be able to show contracts to which preferences and reservations have been applied, contracts awarded to SME’s or the youth and such other details that can help the Government apply its procurement as a social economic tool to aid Kenyans in improving their livelihoods.

The revised format will be as shown in the table below: -
