According to the draft, suppliers’ activities involve providing assistance and support to procuring entities/organizations by supplying technical infrastructure, consulting on the initiation and conduct of government/sectoral procurement procedures, and initiating and conducting procedures on behalf of and in the interests of the procuring entities. Services may be provided in one or more of these forms.
