Effective and strategic procurement planning helps ensure that fit-for-purpose procurement approaches are developed to achieve value for money and the project’s development objectives. The note enables borrowers to take a flexible approach to developing a procurement strategy and procurement plan, applying tools and techniques widely used across public and private sector organizations to provide the necessary intelligence to make sound procurement decisions.
