AD (Administrative Directive)

Administrative Directives (ADs) are official statements from a governmental body or agency that provide guidelines and instructions related to the procurement process. This includes everything from outlining specific tendering processes, to providing guidance on contract management, to implementing quality control measures for the procurement cycle. ADs are crucial tools in ensuring that public procurement processes remain transparent and compliant with existing laws and regulations. By adhering to ADs, businesses can ensure that their procurement practices adhere to best practice standards and maintain high levels of trust between government bodies, suppliers, and vendors.
