The Procurement Authority and Increased Delegated Procurement Authority policy has been revised to incorporate the increased procurement thresholds and delegated procurement authorities, accounting for inflationary impacts since 2016, increasing limits across multiple levels to enhance purchasing capacity. These policy changes affect various delegation levels and micro-purchasing thresholds, reflecting a systematic adjustment to procurement authority within the organization:
• Standard Delegated Procurement Authority Increase: The delegation limit for Level 1 procurement authority has been raised from $200,000 to $300,000 (Paragraph 2), with a no-UNALL Quantum threshold moving from $150,000 to $200,000 (Paragraph 4).
• Increased Delegated Procurement Levels: Thresholds for Levels 2, 3, and 4 procurement authority have been increased respectively from $300,000 to $400,000 for Level 2 (Paragraph 4), $500,000 to $700,000 for Level 3 (Paragraph 11), and $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 for Level 4 (Paragraph 14).
• Micro-Purchasing Thresholds Expanded: The minimum micro-purchasing threshold has been increased from $5,000 to $7,000, and the maximum from $10,000 to $15,000 (Paragraph 5).
• Ad-Hoc Increased Delegation Authority and Requests for Increased Delegated Procurement Authority (IDPA): Ad-hoc increased delegation authority and requests for IDPA (minimum above level 4) have also been increased from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000, with the maximum amount delegated by the Regional Chief Procurement Officer moving from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 (Paragraph 6).
The Procurement Authority and Increased Delegated Procurement Authority procedure and the Request for Increased Delegation of Procurement Authority (IDPA) template have been also updated to reflect the policy’s revisions.
