Explain circumstances where competitive tendering may not be appropriate and suggest alternative procurement methods.

The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Coaltar District Assembly on his appointment has no knowledge in public financial management, including public procurement. Prior to his appointment, he was an ardent listener of the proceedings of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament, and he realized that most heads of departments were often blamed for not using the competitive tendering process in procurement.

On assumption of office, he gave a strong directive that all procurements in the Assembly should go through a competitive tendering process and that not even a pesewa purchase should take place outside this directive. He insisted that public procurement should produce value for money.

Required:
As the District Finance Officer (DFO) of Coaltar District Assembly,
i) Write a memorandum to the new District Chief Executive explaining THREE circumstances under which the directive will not be appropriate. (3 marks)
ii) Suggest any other THREE methods of procurement that may be appropriate and lawful in the absence of a competitive tendering process. (3 marks)
