When a procuring entity requests if it wants to use a restricted procurement method (in practice, for anything that is not national competitive procurement). \r\nB. When a procuring entity requests to award a contract above a certain price threshold; \r\n\r\nIn Liberia, the procuring authority issues a no objection certificate:\r\n\r\nC. when a procuring entity requests to award a contract above a certain price threshold (this threshold varies depending on the nature of the procurement). It is during the approval of procurement plan that the authority would usually approve the use of restricted procurement methods.\r\n\r\nI would propose including no objection as a binary field in tender phase to meet use case A, in the award phase to meet use case B, and in the planning phase in case C. I recognize this is a number of new fields, but thought it worth raising."}}
