Supply Chain
Commodities were procured through a competitive bidding process . WFP procured fortified biscuits and lentils locally and other commodities internationally . The vendors ' roster for logistics services was updated to enhance customs clearance and transportation based on thorough market assessment . The country office received in-kind contributions of wheat from the Government of Bangladesh and the United States Department of Agriculture ( USDA ) and dates from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia .
Internationally procured commodities and in-kind donations from donor governments ( Bangladesh , Japan and the United States of America ) were stored in the Government ' s warehouses . WFP ' s contracted suppliers for fortified biscuits received USDA in-kind wheat from the Government ' s silos and warehouses and then delivered the biscuits in exchange to their final delivery points . Millers were requested through a call for quotations to assign the metric tonnage exchange ratio for wheat to biscuits . When cash grants were received for biscuits , they were purchased through competitive tendering using the normal food procurement process . Rice distributed during emergency humanitarian responses was delivered from government storage facilities .
WFP supported cooperating partners and the Government in capacity strengthening for the efficient management of their supply chain management processes in part by embedding them in its own procurement process . Most notably , the country office ' s procurement unit assisted the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs in the process of assessing and qualifying rice millers for blending with fortified rice kernels , and creating a roster of approved millers for the tendering process . WFP continues to help integrate fortified rice into government and WFP-assisted safety net programmes , oversees the procurement process where the Government contracts rice fortification millers , and provides technical support through its food technologist to assist rice kernel producers in meeting international quality standards . The selecting and contracting for fortified biscuits and rice for the Government is also conducted through WFP ' s supply chain unit with government representatives serving as voting members on the selection committees . Building on its logistics expertise , WFP conducted trainings on warehouse management and commodity control for the government food officials , cooperating partners , biscuit suppliers and traders .
Losses incurred in 2016 were minimal and were mainly attributable to the inadequate packaging of Super Cereal and Super Cereal Plus procured internationally . Some losses also occurred during the process of milling lentils before distribution to beneficiaries while some in-kind commodities were lost due to waterlogging during cyclone Roanu in mid-2016 . Consistent with procurement rules and regulations , WFP took mitigation action to minimise the
