This study examined the level of
transparency in the public construction sector in Guatemala
to create a benchmark for the implementation of the CoST
(Construction Sector Transparency) Initiative in the
country. It was based on an analysis of the disclosure of 31
indicators of Material Project Information (MPI), as defined
by the CoST Initiative. The study showed that disclosure of
Material Project Information in Guatemala is supported
significantly by the national legal framework. The law
mandates online disclosure of almost 87 percent of the MPI
required by the CoST Initiative. This is the highest
percentage among countries participating in the CoST
Initiative to-date. Yet, an analysis of 16 projects selected
randomly in seven Procurement Entities (PEs) - four at the
central level and three at the local level - revealed that
actual information disclosure only amounts, on average, to
38 percent of the MPI required by law. This represents 34
percent of the MPI required by the CoST Initiative.
Procurement Entities (PEs) at the central government level
disclose on average 40 percent of the MPI required by the
law online in the GUATECOMPRAS (Contracting System of the
State of Guatemala) system; PEs at the local level disclose
35 percent. In the project cycle, the stages registering the
lowest levels of information disclosure were: design (6.29
percent of the MPI required by the law), execution (5.50
percent), supervision (4.13 percent) and post-contract
(19.25 percent). Road infrastructure projects under analysis
underwent, on average, 17 variation orders, with additional
times and price amounting to 123 percent and 103 percent,
respectively. Based on the results of the study, the
Guatemalan CoST Initiative will collaborate in its pilot
phase with selected PEs to facilitate the analysis and
disclosure of MPI throughout the project cycle. |
