How we buy goods and services
FIG is a significant purchaser of services and supplies on the Falkland Islands in its own right and additionally carries out some joint purchasing with the MOD.
Procurement rules are set out in the FIG Financial Instructions which govern how we carry this out and how we manage relationships with our suppliers.
Our suppliers
FIG has a range of suppliers that we use to provide goods and services to the government. When purchasing items we now don’t necessarily choose the cheapest but we also look at:
- Track Record
- Quality of Proposals
- Resources available to deliver the Service (where appropriate)
- Local Market
