The Baseline Indicators (BLIs)
assessment has been conducted by the Development Partners
and the Government of Pakistan as a precursor to carrying
forward the Government's efforts to upgrade the Country
Procurement Systems (CPS) to international standards and to
help it assess the level and type of technical assistance
required for achieving this objective. The assessment, being
the first phase of a comprehensive procurement performance
assessment, covered the four pillars as well as all the
indicators and sub-indicators in each pillar based on a
review of the existing regulatory framework and the
institutional and operational arrangements and as provided
for in the Organization for Economic Development (OECD)
Development Advisory Committee (DAC) guidelines. While the
views expressed in the report were the subject of
discussions at the stakeholders' workshop, they do not
necessarily represent the views of the Government of
Pakistan. The result indicates that compared to the standard
required for a transparent, efficient and effective
procurement system, the existing system in Pakistan needs to
be improved substantially. The highest achieved rating is
for pillar one, the legislative and regulatory framework,
which is an amalgam of specific legislation and
sub-legislation impacting the procurement activity of the
government and the older legislative instruments affecting
the overall operations of the public and/or the private
sectors. The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA)
is the apex body of the institutional framework (pillar two)
governing the public procurement arena. The Pakistan
Engineering Council (PEC) was involved as a member of the
Kazi committee to prepare a standard bidding document and
standard General Conditions of Contract (GCC) for all
engineering contracts. Improvements in improving the
procurement market and operations (pillar three) can only
happen when substantial progress has been achieved in
reforming pillars one and two of the procurement framework.
Integrity and efficiency in the public procurement system
(pillar four) is the ultimate goal of all procurement
systems and is not easily achieved. This, therefore,
requires changes not only within the specific procurement
related legislation, but also across a raft of other
legislation to ensure an overall enabling environment.
Coupled to this is the need to motivate decision makers and
civil society to actively participate in ensuring the
implementation of the revised legislation. This will require
several years, but the effort could be started at an early
stage of the reform process. |
