For purchases below $50,000 you can directly engage a supplier or seek verbal quotes from several suppliers of your choice.
The following pages helps you to:
- choose whether a direct purchase or verbal quotation is more appropriate for your procurement
- identify suppliers
- evaluate any quotes you receive
- keep the relevant records required for the purchase
If your purchase is likely to be close to the $50,000 threshold, you may wish to follow the written quotes process for purchases between $50,000 and $250,000
