Procurement

The foundational principle guiding ISA’s procurement is the attainment of the "best value for money." This involves selecting an offer that strikes the perfect balance between life-cycle costs and benefits, meeting the stringent requirements of the business unit. It necessitates an integrated assessment of technical, organizational, and pricing factors, taking into account their respective significance. Reliability, quality, experience, reputation, past performance, realistic costs/fees, and reasonableness all play pivotal roles in this comprehensive evaluation.

As competition is the keystone of impartial and transparent procurement, ISA's business units are entrusted with safeguarding the process's integrity and ensuring fairness and confidentiality in the treatment of all offers. The objective of ISA’s competitive processes is to provide timely and adequate notification of the Agency’s requirements, offering an equal opportunity to tender for the required goods, civil works, or services.

Solicitation documents for competitive bidding, including Requests for Proposals (RFP), Requests for Quotations (RFQ), Invitation to Bid (ITB), or Request for Information (RFI), will be promptly posted on the ISA website. Deadlines and detailed instructions for submitting bids will accompany these documents.

ISA proudly operates a fee-free procurement process, ensuring accessibility and fairness at every stage, from vendor registration to bid submission.
