7.5.3 Procurement: equipment and software<br />
All equipment should be procured according to Finnish Government procurement regulations. Those require restricted<br />
tendering with minimum three offers, if the price quotation is less than 15.000 euro. If it is more than 15.000 euro, open<br />
tendering should be launched in <strong>Nepal</strong> and in certain cases in EU countries. There are also requirements of the origin of the<br />
procured equipment to support <strong>Nepal</strong> or EU countries.<br />
However, it should be noticed that justified proposals of different origin could be realized, when maintenance, quality and<br />
sustainability aspects are supporting that. In general, all equipment and materials will be procured, either through restricted or<br />
open tendering process. It should also be noticed that procurement through local distributors provides that the Value Added<br />
Tax, VAT (13 %) should be paid. In international procurement that can be avoided.<br />
