| description |
The legal framework lacks robustness,
and features structural and content inadequacies. Two
current practices foster corruption and higher prices: using
negotiations as an accepted procurement method, and,
misusing the registration system for purchases from
short-listed firms. Furthermore, procurement management is
weak, showing incomplete procurement files, producing
therefore avoidable losses for the government, while
inadequacies in budget allocation, and in the funds release
system reveal significant release delays, seriously
affecting project implementation and contract management.
Within this context, it is recommended to establish a
procurement reform task force to initiate, and oversee the
implementation set in the action plan developed by this
CPAR. Moreover, the policy, and supervisory role of the
Zambia National Tender Board (ZNTB) should be established,
even prior to the new procurement legislation. The plan for
a complete delegation of procurement authority should be
finalized within a phased three-year period, and a
professional procurement cadre should be established,
defining its composition, with measures to support the
management function. Other recommendations include the
re-design of a registration list system, implementation of
anti-corruption actions, and, introduction of appropriate
procurement planning, and a new filing system. |
