This procurement assessment in Tonga:
(a) reviews existing policies, procedures and practices
followed for procurement, with focus on Bank-financed
projects and their impact on procurement performance of the
Bank portfolio, and recommends measures to improve the
procurement performance; and (b) identifies technical
assistance (TA) required to introduce international
procurement best practices in the country. Tonga does not
have any legislation or regulations governing public
procurement, and also does not have any formal procurement
policies and procedures. Procurement has been decentralized
to various Government ministries and departments, with the
various institutions following different informal procedures
and practices. The risks are high due to lack of capacity,
capability and skills in procurement operations, and the
volume of procurement would not justify creating procurement
skills in each ministry and department. The recommended
action plan concludes that procurement support and legal
frameworks are high priority items, while procurement
manuals, standard documents, capacity building, and training
are medium priority. |
