This is a standard government document to support undertaking the procurement activities, including the preparation of bidding documents, inviting bids for the required services, and the eventual bid evaluation and contract award. As in the case of the APP, the BAC normally would not act on a proposed bid package without an approved purchase request. In hospital management services, the purchase request could be written as follows: "procurement of hospital management services from a private sector partner." A draft of the TOR could be attached in case the approving authority of the purchase request asks for one.
