New Procurement Framework

The new Procurement Policy and Procurement Regulations were approved in April 2017. The Procurement Policy, Regulations and other supporting documents form the NPF within ADB, governing the procurement of goods, works and services by borrowers, Executing Agencies (EAs) and Implementing Agencies (IAs) conducting procurement on ADB-funded projects.

This series of 10 eLearning modules (more to come soon) aim to provide procurement practitioners with the knowledge needed to apply the NPF to projects to improve quality and value-for-money. With the move from a rules-based to a principles-based approach, the NPF provides greater flexibility and efficiency to address the changing needs of borrowers.

The eLearning modules supplement training and other communications on the New Procurement Framework
