How can you split the costs for the procurement of a vehicle over several projects?

Estimating Procurement Management

Pascal Houben Ulaanbaatar, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

I am working in the area of development cooperation. We would like to buy a new car for the mission, but we there is no budget line to cover the entire purchase price. We have to cover the costs from multiple multiannual projects. What questions come to your mind in such a situation?

Your kind help would be very much appreciated!

Splitting the costs for the procurement of a vehicle over several project should be based on percentage of usage across projects.

It has to do with several factors. For example, you may split it based on the assigned time to each project.

Is there a need to purchase the car outright. Could you not lease the car for the set period of the project and the cost of the cars used could be broken down into days and another resource for the project. This cost per day including the lease of the car, petrol, insurance, tax and maintenance could be shared amongst all the projects that require use of the car.
