Where does the data come from?
Our own procurement database for Kazakhstan: signed contracts, award protocols, technical specifications, buyers and suppliers. Every figure is checked against the notice, the protocol and the contract; in Excel every row has its source.
Can the price opinion be used to justify a price in the procurement plan?
The opinion shows the range of actual prices with a list of comparable contracts and can be attached to your justification. The lot price and the justification procedure are decided by your company under its own rules.
How is the supplier check different from counterparty check services?
Those services show registration data, founders and tax history. We show the delivery track record: what the supplier actually delivered, to whom and at what price, and whether contracts were terminated. The two checks complement each other.
How much do the services cost?
The price depends on the service and scope: the number of items, categories and contracts. We state it in the Order before work starts.
How do we order without a new contract?
A memorandum of cooperation with framework terms is signed once. After that you send a request to info@casc.kz, and within 1 business day we send a draft Order and invoice.
We buy under quasi-public sector rules. How can we work with you?
We follow the procedure set by your procurement rules and prepare a commercial offer and technical specification for it.
Is the local procurement calculation a verification of the report?
No. We do the calculation and describe the method; verification or assurance of the sustainability report is done by an independent organisation of your choice.
How do you keep it confidential?
NDA before any data exchange. Only the client receives the results; we do not publish them or name you as a client without consent.
