| Summary: | This report examines the evolution of
the public procurement regime in Bangladesh, the development
of the legal and regulatory framework, the volume and
handling of public procurement, overviews the system's
procedures and practices, pinpoints areas needing
remediation, and makes recommendations for modification. The
strategic approach the report recommends is one of gradual
improvement to the existing procurement regime by a set of
actions that it assesses as feasible and practical. These
actions are prioritized from the point of view of the impact
they will have on the present regime. Delays are the singe
most important problem that can be solved easily, and hence,
given the first priority. The quality of procurement is the
next, but results will appear slowly. The procurement law is
deferred until action on the urgently needed reforms is
completed. The report suggests converting the agreed
recommendations to a detailed action plan identifying the
required resources, sources of funding, specific time frame
for each action, the type of technical assistance to be
supplied by the World Bank and other international financial
institutions, and encouraging donor coordination. |
