successive packages of lower value when preparing its Procurement Plan with the intention of
avoiding either a particular Procurement method or the obligations of seeking the approval of a
higher authority.

Procurement Plan into more than five (5) lots in order to make application of the provisions of
cross-discounts simple during evaluation.
(3) The Procuring Entity shall take into account the following aspects for splitting single
object of Procurement into smaller packages and packages into smaller lots -
(a) the capacity of the local and international markets in submitting responsive
Tenders for packages and lots of the size recommended;
(b) the convenience of implementation with due regard to geographical location of
sites for potential Works contracts,.
(4) The Head of the Procuring Entity or an officer authorised by him or her shall approve
splitting smaller packages and lots on justifiable grounds.
(5) In the cases where a single object of Procurement is split into more than one (1)
package and packages are split into more than one (1) lot under Sub- Rules (1), (2) & (3), the
Tenders for each of the packages or lots shall be placed for approval before the authority
competent to approve the sum total of those packages or lots, prior to the issuance of Notification
of Award for any one (1) of those packages or lots.

to the CCGP prior to the issuance of Notification of Award for any one (1) of
those lots.

Tender shall be submitted to the CCGP, prior to the issuance of Notification
of Award for any one (1) of those items.
