From the legislative point of view,
Poland has a relatively developed public procurement system,
though, as recorded above, further improvements remain
necessary. Since June 1994, when the Sejm passed the first
public procurement law, the law has gone through several
amendments with a view to incorporating the lessons learned
by the OPP and procuring entities. The law has been revised
again in order to make it compatible with the EU procurement
directives. It is expected that this revision will further
improve the transparency and competitiveness provided by the
current law. Furthermore, during the last five years,
procuring entities in Poland, especially at the national
level, have acquired experience in implementing procurement
according to the requirements of the public procurement law,
and the Office of Public Procurement in supporting these
entities in their responsibility of conducting public
procurement and in supervising the system. However, it has
been determined that in most cases the shortcomings relate
to practice and only in a few cases to the deficiency of the
procedures. Therefore, while it is important to make the law
more transparent and competitive, to realize savings in
public spending, improvement in procurement practices need
an even sharper focus. The areas to be addressed are:
Provide good quality standard bidding documents. Introduce
unambiguous and neutral technical specifications. Introduce
objective evaluation criteria. Separate evaluation of
bidder's qualification from the bid evaluation. Require
bid opening the same day as the deadline for bid submission.
Allow adequate bid preparation time to bidders. Remove
barriers to participation by foreign bidders. Require
mandatory post-qualification in the absence of
pre-qualification. Allow adequate time to procuring entities
to spend budget allocations. Build procurement as a distinct
profession. Introduce two-tier procurement decision making
system. Introduce code of ethics for procurement
professionals. Include provisions in the law suitable for
procurement of consultant services. Prepare a training
strategy and implement it. Improve bid dispute arbitration
procedures. Introduce procedures for procurement under Euros
3,000 to minimize the use of Sole Sourcing. Introduce best
practices to procuring entities through the Public
Procurement Bulletin. |
