I have not heard back from the Procurement Unit. I think they’re overloaded. Besides our price comparison is not complete.
We should do a complete price comparison with at least 2 suppliers from our end. Therefore I prepared an excel file as attached, and sent to Nong Nam on Mon 11 July 2016 to source one more supplier, perhaps from Bangkok if they have bigger supplies, plus the transportation costs, and fill up the comparison apart from ENGINEO which Nong Nam said has the most supplies. Whereas the other two quotations from the two suppliers in Chiangmai carry only some and not all items, which we cannot complete the comparison.
In a separate email to Nong Nam I also sent a Vendor (Supplier) registration form for any new supplier that UNDP has never placed an order with.
When the comparison is complete, then I shall raise a Requisition for Khun Sutharin/Khun Jacqui’s approval and attach all documents via SCOD to the Procurement Unit to issue a Purchase Order. At that point, they should accept the transaction and advise if they need a note to file why we place an order with the supplier or any other information.
Thank you and kind regards,
