Hi B. I just received communication that the Project Proposal was approved by the HOD for the Supplier Development Fund however I have not identified any specific beneficiaries. Where do I begin?
Hi A. That’s great news! Now that the project proposal has been approved, you must undertake the market analysis process which is key area of the planning process.
Thank you B.Since no specific beneficiarieshave been identified nor has the department been approached by or approached any potentialbeneficiaries , it is clear that the open call for proposal method must be followed
Yes you are correct.The draft Call for Proposal must be submitted to Financial Management for evaluation to allow for an independent assessment to ensure that it is free from potential ambiguity and bias rememberthat with any entity selection process that is followed, ensure that you maintain clear and detailed records of the process. There are also specific processes that apply to the open call for proposal method in that various committees are involved to ensure the selection is fair and transparent.
Can you tell me more about committees?
Yes. Once the advert closesand potential beneficiaries have submitted their applications, the selectionprocess will be undertaken by various committees to ensure that the process isfair, transparent and that beneficiaries selected meet the qualifying criteria.
