Preferred Vendors procedures
Conservation International program has a Field Staff Manual that contains the policies, rules, and procedures that guide our work, it reflects our values and culture and creates the environment for staff to perform everyday business in a clear, efficient way as we all work toward CI’s mission.
The Field Staff Manual includes procedures in procurement, that defines the requirements for the purchase of goods and services for programs implemented by Conservation International (“CI”) and outlines the procedure to be followed. The policy promotes competitive procurement for successful program implementation.
All CI staff are expected to exercise sound business judgment and prudent procurement and administrative practices. Purchases must be necessary, reasonable, and ensure the best value for CI. All staff involved in the procurement process are responsible for protecting the integrity of the process and ensuring that all bidders/vendors/service providers are treated on a fair and impartial basis.
For regular recurrent expenses to a CI program such as office supplies, office maintenance, and automotive services, we develop a preferred Vendor List (PVL) which provides a list of competitively selected vendors.
The Administrative and Procurement unit is responsible for developing and maintaining a preferred vendor list (PVL). This list is provided to all program departments to simplify the purchasing process for regular, ongoing, supplies and services.
Preferred vendors allow the Program as well to secure favorable contract conditions including best pricing, trust of vendors, and flexible payment terms. In a preferred vendor relationship, CI has leverage over contract terms.
When is a Preferred Vendor List appropriate?
- When the services or goods are required on a regular, recurring basis, at least monthly for a one-year term.
- When the services or goods provided are exactly the same each time.
What are the steps for the development of the PVL?
Step 1: Gather Information: Develop a list of the goods and services that the office purchases on a regular, recurring basis. We describe the product in detail and ask for any information that you will need to make an informed purchasing decision. Assistance from other departments is helpful to validate the technical specifications of the product.
Step 2: Identify and Engage the Selection Panel: Compose a selection panel that includes the Operations Director or his/her delegate, a representative from the technical team, and a third staff member to evaluate proposals/quotations. The selection panel may be requested to define the selection criteria. Contact the proposed members of the selection panel early in the process and share a solicitation timeline with them.
Step 3: Prepare the Solicitation: Write a solicitation document that contains the details of the goods and services required by your office. Your solicitation must be clear and concise to attract as many offerors as possible. Receive as many proposals as possible to give you the flexibility to select the most advantageous proposal for CI.
At a minimum, the Solicitation document includes:
- Introduction or Background
- Description of Goods/Services required
- Minimum desired qualifications (for services) or minimum desired qualities (for goods)
- Purchasing and delivery location
- Contractual arrangements
- Evaluation criteria
- Other criteria, depending on the nature of goods/services being solicited.
Step 4: Publicize the Solicitation: Advertise your solicitation as widely as possible. Give the offerors the same information and the same amount of time for bid preparation. The solicitation document must be published on public websites, newsletters, and magazines and should be accessible to all interested offerors. Potential offerors are required to complete a Preferred Vendor Registration Form.
Step 5: Proposal Evaluation: Assemble Selection Panel, virtually or in person, to evaluate proposals/quotations based on your selection criteria set forth in your solicitation document. At a minimum, the scoring should be based on:
- Entity’s capabilities, experience, and past performance
- Key personnel, if applicable
- Cost
- Any other important factors depending on the type of goods or services.
The selection panel will narrow the list down to only those vendors that meet the office’s needs. You should end up with a short list of qualifying vendors listed in order of highest to lowest scoring. To confirm the existence and good standing of the selected vendors, a member of the selection panel should be appointed to make a physical inspection visit to validate the existence of the vendor and to confirm that all information included in the proposal is aligned with the business of such vendor. When the physical inspection is not viable, conduct external reference checks and obtain a copy of the vendor operating license.
Upon selection of the vendor, proceed with contracting for a term no greater than two years via CI’s standard contracting procedures using either a purchase order or services agreement as described below.
Programs may engage more than one preferred vendor in a service/product category if a single vendor is unable to meet all of their needs in an economical way. In these cases, the Program should contact the next highest-rated vendor from the scoring sheet.
