GOVERNMENT OF JAMAICA PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES
It is important to emphasize that the Government of Jamaica Procurement Procedures are determined and promulgated by the Cabinet of the Government of Jamaica. They are neither determined, prescribed nor imposed by the Office of the Contractor General (OCG).
The role of the OCG, in so far as the Government of Jamaica Procurement Procedures are concerned, is to monitor and to investigate the award and termination of Government contracts, licenses and permits to ensure that same have been carried out, inter alia, in compliance with the relevant Procurement Procedures.
Revised Handbook of Public Sector Procurement Procedures (RHPP)
The Revised Handbook of Public Sector Procurement Procedures (the "Revised Handbook" or "RHPP") is now on-line. By way of Circular No: 46, dated December 10, 2008, the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service has advised all "Permanent Secretaries, Chief Executive Officers and Heads of Procuring Entities" as follows:
"Permanent Secretaries, Chief Executive Officers and Heads of Entities are hereby advised that via Cabinet Decision No: 43, dated December 10, 2008, approval has been granted for the use of the Revised Handbook of Public Sector Procurement Procedures for an interim period pending revision by the team and final approval by Cabinet".
The Revised Handbook of Public Sector Procurement Procedures (the "Revised Handbook" or "RHPP") contains the applicable procedures which must be strictly adhered to by every Public Body which seeks to engage in a Government of Jamaica procurement or contract award activity.
If any Public Body is in doubt about the interpretation or applicability of any provision of the Revised Handbook, please contact the Deputy Financial Secretary with portfolio responsibility for the Procurement and Asset Policy Unit of the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service.
