Consultancy Needed - Procurement Supportnew

BACKGROUND 

The Resilience Project in Air Upas, Ketapang is currently experiencing an underspend against its planned budget utilization. To ensure the project achieves its implementation targets and budget realization within the remaining project timeline, procurement activities need to be accelerated while maintaining compliance with Save the Children policies and donor requirements. The increasing volume and urgency of procurement activities require additional procurement capacity at the project level to support timely processing of procurement requests, supplier engagement, procurement documentation, and coordination with project stakeholders. Therefore, Save the Children Indonesia intends to engage an External Collaborator (EC) to provide dedicated procurement support for the Resilience Project in Air Upas, Ketapang. The EC will play a key role in expediting procurement processes, minimizing procurement lead time, and supporting the overall acceleration of project implementation and spending.
