		Review of Cases by Local Committees on Contracts

There are specific cases that, in accordance with the Financial Rules and Regulations, require the recommendation of the LCC and the approval of the CMS/DMS or CAO/DOA, prior to any contractual commitment being made. For example:

			Any proposed award to a single Contractor in respect of a single or a series of related Requisitions for expendable and non-expendable supplies, rental agreements and/or service Contracts in excess of the amounts designated by the USG/DFS or other authorities

			Any proposed amendment, modification or renewal of an existing contractual instrument previously reviewed by the LCC, where the amendment, modification or renewal either increases the estimated contractual amount or duration by a specified amount

Cases Involving Income to the Organisation Cases requiring LCC recommendation and approval of CMS/DMS or CAO/DOA before making any contractual commitment include those that involve income to the organisation. For example:

			Any proposed Contract or series of related Contracts which involve total estimated annual income to the Organisation during a calendar year of USD 10,000 or more

			Any proposed amendment, modification or renewal of a Contract which involves income to the Organisation previously reviewed by the LCC, which in the aggregate would increase the estimated annual income during a calendar year by 20% or more or USD 10,000 or more, whichever is lower
