Government Procurement Act Article 47

Under the following circumstances, an entity may conduct a procurement without setting a government estimate; provided, however, that the reasons of not setting a government estimate and the terms and principles of awarding the contract shall both be provided in the tender documentation:1. where there are actual difficulties in setting a government estimate for the procurement;2. where the contract is to be awarded to the most advantageous tender; or3. for small procurement.For procurement under subparagraphs 1 and 2 of the preceding paragraph, a tenderer may be required to enumerate in its tender the content of its price offer in details.The amount of small procurement shall be set, at the central government level, by the responsible entity, and at the local government level, by the municipal or county (city) governments; provided that the said amount shall not exceed one tenth of the threshold for publication. Where a local government does not set the amount, the amount set by the central government shall govern.
