The organization of this handbook reflects the chronological progression of the procurement process. The opening chapters discuss the philosophy, legal framework, governing principles, and institutional structure established under the NGPA. The succeeding chapters examine procurement planning, competitive procurement, fit-for-purpose procurement modalities, procurement
objects, procurement documentation, and contract administration. Together, these chapters present procurement as a continuous governance process—from identifying public needs and planning procurement to contract implementation, performance management, dispute resolution, and the completion of government projects. The handbook is designed to serve not only as a reference for daily procurement practice but also as a guide for understanding the legal and policy foundations of the country’s procurement system.
