Financial Directions 5.1 in relation to Procurement
I write this email requesting a pdf copy by return email of the Financial Directions 5.1 in relation to Procurement.
I would like to review and understand the situations when the States and its departments are required to submit to procurement via tender, and what the exceptions to this are.
