About the role
An NGO procurement assistant supports transparent purchasing, supplier communication, document checks and delivery follow-up. The panel wants evidence that you can follow controls, compare offers fairly, keep a clear audit trail and raise conflicts or irregularities instead of working around them.
How to prepare
- Review the typical steps from a purchase request and specification through quotations, evaluation, approval, order and receipt.
- Practise comparing offers on compliance, quality, delivery and total cost rather than price alone.
- Prepare an example of checking detailed documents and catching an inconsistency.
- Think through how you would declare and manage a real or perceived conflict of interest.
- Review how to communicate a delay or quality problem to both the supplier and internal requester.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the cheapest offer is automatically the best value.
- Sharing one supplier's quotation or pricing with another bidder.
- Treating urgent procurement as permission to ignore approvals and documentation.
