Tenders Are Invited for Aco Purchase Card Programme
SHAPE has implemented the ACO Purchase Card Programme that, according to the ACO Directive 60-
71, allows duly authorized NATO personnel to make official purchases (commodities and services) for a
value up to 10% of the NATO Established Financial Limit (EFL) Level A. Effective 8 February 2018 the
single spending limit for procurement of commodities and services via the ACO Purchase Card
Programme is up to EUR 3,000.00 per transaction.
The use of the ACO Purchase Card as simplified contractual instrument is beneficial for both NATO and
the Vendors/Suppliers. Some of the vendors’ benefits are:
- Vendor paid by bank in “a few days”, rather than waiting 30 to 60 days for their invoice to be processed
once the commodity/service is delivered/provided;
- Less administrative burden;
- Overall, a more simplified process.
Most common commodities/services procured through the ACO Purchase Card Programme are:
- electrical, mechanical, plumbing spare parts;
- musical instruments and accessories;
- vehicle spare parts and accessories;
- photo/printing services;
- purchase and/or repair of small appliances;
- audio/video/IT equipment;
- ADP supplies;
- furniture;
- road signs;
- A/C units spare parts/maintenance;
- office supplies;
- chemical and/or cleaning products;
- subscriptions;
- tools, hardware, paint, accessories;
- mess/kitchen equipment, decorations;
- safety items/clothing.
