Thus, it is recommended that consultants assist the Government in revising the Regulation, and, that steps be taken for developing the capacity of Timorese staff in procurement. Procurement policies, rules, procedures, and manuals, including appropriate controls, should be established, so that staff handling procurement adhere to the set rules. Given the low to non-existent capacity, more time and effort should be spent on training of procurement staff, as well as local contractors, suppliers and consultants. Viewing the emergency nature of projects in the post-conflict situation, development partners should assign experienced procurement staff, able to bring in international best practices, and provide guidance to government officials regarding procurement and project implementation issues. The assessment of the CPAR is that procurement risks are "high", based on the extremely weak procurement capacity. However, limited experience to date does not indicate significant corruption. In order to mitigate the risk, the training program identified should be implemented, with funds already available under existing grants provided by the Bank and ADB. 2013-06-12T19:14:29Z 2013-06-12T19:14:29Z 2004-05-23 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/05/3364855/timor-leste-country-procurement-assessment-report http://hdl.handle.net/10986/13867 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Country Procurement Assessment (CPAR) Economic & Sector Work East Asia and Pacific Timor-Leste |

This Country Procurement Assessment
Report (CPAR) focuses on four specific areas: a) the legal
and regulatory framework within which public procurement
currently operates, and recommendations for necessary
modifications; b) the current procurement policies,
procedures and institutions responsible for procurement, and
identification of short- and medium-term changes needed to
ensure that procurement is carried out transparently, with
due regard to economy and efficiency; c) the capacity of
government officials to undertake procurement efficiently,
and recommendations for appropriate staffing and capacity
building plans; and, d) lessons learnt in a post conflict
situation. This CPAR is consistent with the analytical and
advisory assistance objectives of the Transitional Support
Strategy. There is need to review and revise the Regulation
to take intoconsideration the environment of an
independent country, and to make it compatible with
UNICITRAL Model Law on Procurement, and the procurement
guidelines of the Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), and
other development partners. Thus, it is recommended that
consultants assist the Government in revising the
Regulation, and, that steps be taken for developing the
capacity of Timorese staff in procurement. Procurement
policies, rules, procedures, and manuals, including
appropriate controls, should be established, so that staff
handling procurement adhere to the set rules. Given the low
to non-existent capacity, more time and effort should be
spent on training of procurement staff, as well as local
contractors, suppliers and consultants. Viewing the
emergency nature of projects in the post-conflict situation,
development partners should assign experienced procurement
staff, able to bring in international best practices, and
provide guidance to government officials regarding
procurement and project implementation issues. The
assessment of the CPAR is that procurement risks are
"high", based on the extremely weak procurement
capacity. However, limited experience to date does not
indicate significant corruption. In order to mitigate the
risk, the training program identified should be implemented,
with funds already available under existing grants provided
by the Bank and ADB. |
