Human resources management Selection process: There are three distinctly different methods of selecting an individual contractor to perform in accordance with a specific Terms of Reference: 1) A competitive selection process, which can either be i. Open competition, or ii. Limited competition, and 2) A pre-selection by a client (source of funding), and 3) An exemption to the use of formal methods of solicitation. Open competition is always the preferred selection method in all cases and is a requirement for contracts where the total contract value amounts to USD 50 K or more.
