Government Procurement  
     
 

Peru and Singapore have agreed to open their respective government procurement markets in order to maximize competitive opportunities for their suppliers and reduce costs of doing business for both government and industry. The list of government procurement schedules for Peru is listed in Annex 9A.

The threshold limits are as follows:
i. Goods and services for entities set out in Sections A and B:SDR 130,000
ii. Goods and services for entities set out in Section C: SDR 400,000; and
iii. Construction services: SDR 5,000,000

This Chapter applies to procurement of goods or services, or any combination of goods and services by any contractual means, including through such methods as purchase or as lease, rental or hire purchase, with or without an option to buy, build–operate–transfer contracts and public works concessions.

Each Party shall ensure that its entities shall not:
(a) treat a locally established supplier less favourably than another locally established supplier on the basis of degree of foreign affiliation or ownership; nor
(b) discriminate against a locally established supplier on the basis that it is a supplier of a good or service of the other Party.

The procurement notices shall be published in advance inviting all interested suppliers to submit tenders for that procurement except as otherwise provided in Article 9.13. The official electronic medium for the publication of notices is listed in Annex 9B.
