On 26 March 1991, the company filed a motion to link the buyers of ENTEL's assets to the proceedings.

In New Zealand, for example, heads of procuring entities are free to manage their departments' procurement operations.

However, procuring entities may find this information unnecessary, and it may become a costly burden for suppliers.

Under those rules, substantial discretion as regards the conduct of procurement process is often given to the heads of procuring entities.

Such a broad delegation of authority enables heads of a procuring entity to formulate procurement rules on an ad hoc basis.

It prescribes different procedures, offers procuring entities alternative techniques and sets recommended and mandatory contract clauses and attached forms.

Depending on which evaluation criteria are assessed and when, three models for conducting ERAs are used in practice by procuring entities

In practice, PINs found on the websites of procuring entities may stretch beyond the term of one year.

Consequently, the Working Group concluded that it would not be appropriate to require procuring entities to provide all software without charge, but that the Guide should provide that procuring entities should not use a charging facility to levy disproportionate charges or to restrict access to the procurement.

In the practice of many countries, procuring entities retain broad flexibility to suspend reverse auction procedures and fix the time frame of suspension.

In some systems, an online tool has been developed that assists procuring entities to assess the suitability of ERA for an individual procurement.

Objectivity in the process could also be improved if procuring entities were to compare prices received with pre tender estimates based on market prices.

At the stage of introduction or trial of ERAs, some countries limit the list of procuring entities that can use ERAs in public procurement. In Brazil, for instance, the use of procurement auctions in both versions, conventional and electronic, was initially restricted to the Federal Public Administration bodies but by article 2(1) of Federal Law No.

It is possible for entities to facilitate the participation of suppliers that do not have Internet access by setting up a proxy (possibly in the offices of the procuring entity) to bid on the supplier's behalf during the auction, based on telephone instructions from the supplier.

The obligation of systematic maintenance of information published is closely linked to the issue of liability of procuring entities for the failure to provide accurate and up to date information to potential suppliers or contractors.

(a) The name and address of the procuring entity

The conduct of procurement in some countries may also be regulated by internal memoranda, circulars, letters of information from ministers and instructions issued within ministries or procuring entities.

In Australia, the APP must cover agencies' planned procurement for the forthcoming financial year, but may also have an outlook for more than the mandatory 12 months.

However, entities may publish additional notices in other publications and usually do so (often in hard copy form and in additional electronic media).

The Model Law does not, in general, require entities to formulate and disclose precise formulae for evaluation, although its rules encourage enacting States to be as objective as possible.

It has been observed that absence of regulation, or of adequate regulation in some countries where ERAs have been introduced, has deterred some of the procuring entities from using ERAs.

In some systems, the identity is not disclosed to the procuring entity.

(9) The procuring entity shall employ the following procedures in the evaluation of proposals

The procuring entity shall respond within a reasonable time so as to enable the supplier or contractor to make a timely submission of its tender and shall, without identifying the source of the request, communicate the clarification to all suppliers or contractors to which the procuring entity has provided the solicitation documents.

As the Guide to Enactment states, the Model Law sets forth procedures to be used by procuring entities in selecting the supplier or contractor with whom to enter into a given procurement contract and does not purport to address other procurement phases.

All of the sides are different.

(4) The procuring entity shall respond to any request by a supplier or contractor for clarification of the prequalification documents that is received by the procuring entity within a reasonable time prior to the deadline for the submission of applications to prequalify.

The Working Group decided that Variant B would be the better formulation, as it was the clearest and easiest to apply, and avoided the risk that procuring entities might seek to avoid the application of the provision through rigid construction of the items on the list.
