| Summary: | The purpose of the Country Procurement
Assessment Report (CPAR) is to assess (a) the efficiency,
economy and transparency of the public procurement system;
(b) commercial practices in the private sector, particularly
in relation to imports, and, (c) the institutional capacity
of entities dealing with procurement in the country.
Mauritius has made credible efforts to provide a framework
of transparency, and accountability; it has strong
institutional capacity; a checks and balances system is in
place; its audit system is working, and the country is
firmly committed to provide a transparent climate for, and
information on public spending to the general public. The
recommended improvements are in line with the already
initiated Government program. The main recommendations
address the need to: (1) develop a legal framework on
procurement procedures, and regulations; (2) standardize,
and computerize the procurement documentation, e.g. the
bidding documents; (3) strengthen the regulatory role of the
Central Tender Board (CTB); (4) provide training for public
procurement staff in ministerial departments; (5) integrate
the ex-post review of procurement compliance in auditing
practices; (6) streamline, and simplify import procedures;
and, (7) review the economic performance, and quality of
imports carried out by the private sector, and/or parastatal
entities. Volume I, the main report, identifies relevant
country information on procurement, and discusses the
analysis of findings. Volume II, attachments and annexes,
discusses each of the major issues in depth, i.e., public
and private sector procurement practices. |
