DFP: Procurement Control Limits

By Neil Irwin - last updated on 4 August 2011

This guidance note sets out the ‘Procurement Control Limits’ to be used by NICS their Agencies and Non-Departmental public bodies

Northern Ireland Public Procurement Policy was approved by the Executive in 2002. In approving the policy the Executive took the decision that legislation was not necessary to ensure that Departments, their Agencies, non-Departmental Public Bodies and Public Corporations complied with the policy. Instead it considered that compliance could be achieved by means of administrative action.

These Procurement Guidance Notes are the administrative means by which the Northern Ireland Public Sector is advised of procurement policy and best practice developments. They are developed by Central Procurement Directorate (CPD), in consultation with the Centres of Procurement Expertise (CoPEs), and are subject to the approval of the Procurement Board.

The following Procurement Guidance Notewas approved by the Procurement Board on 17th June 2010 for use by those bodies covered by Northern Ireland.
