Mobilisation Payment Considerations
Mobilisation Payment Considerations
The design and execution for an Assessment Centre for the office of
Deputy Permanent Secretary (Group 3A) in the Public Service
The basis for Mobilisation, as a standard payment, is that there is some significant
project start-up activity that has a positive relationship to project output and outcome
that is required and necessary.
First payments were due upon Contractor submission of an Inception Report – usually
submitted within 4 weeks of contract execution.
Thus, the SCD practice is to make payment upon receipt of a deliverable and not upon
contract execution.
MoF circular ………… expressly prohibits the Accounting Officer from making
payment for goods and/or services prior to receipt of same.
The reasons given by TGN for the Mobilisation do not meet the bar of what is
professionally acceptable.
