Overview of TBBC's tendering procedures

TBBC tenders for over 85% of its purchases. The TBBC tendering process is fully explained in its Procurement Manual. (English / Thai).

Open tenders are issued for:

1. Regular camp supplies where the supplier is responsible for delivery to camps.

Tendered commodities include rice, mung beans, cooking oil, charcoal, salt, chillies, sugar, fermented bean cake and fish paste. There are two tenders per annum for each camp. Where possible deliveries to camp are required each month, but due to bad road conditions to some camps it is necessary to deliver wet season supplies during the dry season, to be stockpiled in the camp.

2. AsiaMIX (fortified blended food).

Ex factory, two tenders p.a. for the total requirement of all camps.

3. Annual supplies.

Tendered commodities include bed mats, blankets, mosquito nets, eucalyptus poles, and plastic sheets.
