In direct negotiations a government buying agency can take advantage of government-to-government credit agreements, trade agreements or other forms of diplomatic assistance. Purchases negotiated on a government-to-government basis imply a commitment by both governments. Buying negotiations may be carried out by senior government ministers and grain purchases may be a part of a trade agreement. The size of a government agency's purchases may give it leverage in its negotiations with a selling agency. Buying agencies may be able to get a supply commitment covering several years. 1, record 1, English, - Government%20Buying%20Agency

Dans les négociations directes, un organisme d'achat gouvernement peut s'appuyer sur des accords de crédit intergouvernementaux, des traités de commerce ou d'autres formes d'aide diplomatique. Les achats négociés de gouvernement à gouvernement impliquent des engagements réciproques. Les négociations peuvent être menées par des ministres importants et s'insérer dans le cadre d'accords commerciaux. L'importance des achats d'un organisme gouvernemental peut donner à celui-ci plus de poids dans ses négociations avec une agence de vente et lui permettre d'obtenir plus facilement des promesses d'approvisionnement pour plusieurs années. 1, record 1, French, - Organisme%20d%27achat%20gouvernemental
