Our Core Procurement Principles

Value for money

We design interventions to create the most impact through a careful balance of efficiency, effectiveness, equity, cost effectiveness and economy.

Integrity and ethics

We uphold integrity in all our procurement, and have zero tolerance for fraud, bribery, sexual exploitation and abuse or deliberate non-compliance with legislation.

Confidentiality

We always exercise confidentiality of procurement information by all who are involved in the process.

Competition

Our competitive processes promote fairness in procurement to the maximum practical extent.

Objectivity and transparency

All our suppliers are treated equally and all procurement decisions done objectively. We promote independence and full disclosure in line with our conflict-of-interest policy.

Sustainable Procurement

FSD Africa is committed to leveraging its procurement to strengthen the impact of its interventions along the four pillars of sustainability: social, ethical, environmental, and economic. FSD Africa strives to implement sustainable procurement practices to support a low-carbon, circular, inclusive and equitable economy now and for Africa’s future generations to come.
