description |
The ratio of projects at risk is 44
percent, which is much higher than a 20 percent Bank-wide
average. The main problems seem to be an insufficient
capacity to undertake procurement efficiently and an
outdated system of procurement rules, many of which do not
provide for transparent and competitive public purchasing of
goods, works, and consultants' services. The report
recommends the following: 1) Enact a modern, transparent,
and competitive public procurement law, based on the
UNCITRAL Model Law for Procurement, to apply to public
procurement by all public entities in Nepal at all levels,
as well as to parastatals. 2) create a small, independent
procurement agency, with functions defined by the Public
Procurement Law. 3) Pending the enactment of such a law,
amend the Financial Administration (Related) Rules (FAR
'99) to change the anti-competitive rules and practices
listed in this report's Executive Summary. 4) Review
and develop as needed standard bidding documents. 5) Develop
and accelerate procurement training at all government
levels. 6) Instruct the Auditor General's staff to
assist on applying the donor's procurement rules and
not local procurement rules. 7) Amend the anti-corruption
legislation to impose harsh penalties and encourage
reporting acts of corruption. |
