Procurement under the Civil Aviation Purchasing Service
The Civil Aviation Purchasing Service (CAPS) was established by ICAO in 1974 to assist countries in the procurement of civil aviation equipment and services. The assistance is provided in both the administrative aspects of a procurement and, when necessary, the technical aspects.
Any Government/Administration/Government Agency/Private Entity may become a Member of CAPS by completing the registration form and the Memorandum of Understanding.
CAPS Is essentially a type of Trust Fund arrangement. The method of assessing administrative charges, however, departs from the traditional, cross-the-board, flat rate percentage, utilizing instead a progressively reducing scale of charges, according to the value of the purchase involved.
A feature of CAPS is the flexibility to offer a CAPS Member the option of either complete procurement services (from specification of the equipment through to its commissioning) or participation in specific stages of the procurement process.
We can manage the repair of components to close a sale if required. If you are interested in moving your inventory, and converting that asset into cash please contact us.
