  "text": "The NGO shall launch an international open invitation to tender for supply contracts with a value of EUR 150 000 or more. In the case of an international open invitation to tender, the NGO shall publish a tender notice in all appropriate media, in particular on the NGO’s web site, in the international press and the national press of the country in which the Action is being carried out, or in other specialist periodicals.\nSupply contracts for a value of EUR 30 000 or more but less than EUR 150 000 shall be awarded by means of an open tender procedure published locally. In the case of a local open tender procedure, the tender notice shall be published in all appropriate media but only in the country in which the Action is being carried out. It must however provide other eligible suppliers with the same opportunities as local firms.\nSupply contracts with a value of less than EUR 30 000 must be awarded by means of a competitive negotiated procedure without publication, in which the NGO consults at least three suppliers of its choice and negotiates the terms of the contract with one or more of them.\nSupply contracts with a value of less than EUR 5 000 may be awarded by a negotiated procedure on the basis of a single tender.\nThe time-limits for receipt of tenders and requests to participate must be long enough to allow interested parties a reasonable and appropriate period to prepare and submit their tenders.\nWhere the NGO uses a central buying office as service provider in conformity with Article 8.4 of Annex IV ‘ Procurement by grant Beneficiaries in the context of European Community external actions ’ , it selects it in conformity with the procedures for service contracts set out in Article 4.1 and 4.2 thereof. The central buying office is obliged to adhere to the rules and conditions of this Decision and Annex, when purchasing food aid products on the market.",
