Competitive tendering should be

Competitive tendering should be encouraged when the situation in Somalia returns to normal.

Over that time the contracts have been renewed at periodic intervals without competitive tendering.

Article 19. Conditions for use of two stage tendering, request for proposals or competitive negotiation

46. No comments were made on articles 36 to 41, entitled Two stage tendering Restricted tendering Request for proposals Competitive negotiation Request for quotations and Single source procurement.

In 1993, ITC undertook a competitive tendering exercise for this contract, and has since selected a new contractor.

41. No comments were made on articles 17 and 18, entitled Conditions for use of two stage tendering, request for proposals or competitive negotiation and Conditions for use of restricted tendering.

14. The procedure for awarding freight forwarding contracts was not fully competitive.

Some analysts noted clear advantages of auctions with respect to transparency of the contract award process over the traditional tendering procedure.

Consequently, as tendering is the general procurement method for goods and construction, the provisions enable an electronic reverse auction procedure that follows the pattern of the standard tendering method, adapted to provide for an electronic reverse auction.

CHAPTER III. TENDERING PROCEEDINGS

Article 47. Restricted tendering

ITC decided to renew the catering contract for five years based on the results of a 1991 competitive tendering exercise undertaken for the UNOG restaurant facilities.

The Norwegian Competition Authority successfully used this procedure to ensure that the market remained competitive.

Indeed, applications have tripled over the past three years, making the selection procedure extremely competitive.

Article 46. Two stage tendering

How did the tendering happen?

Two stage tendering, like an auction, involves successive tendering phases, but the Model Law does not give any guidance on how article 33 applies to two stage tendering.

(1) The electronic reverse auction is to be conducted as a tendering procedure, and accordingly the provisions of chapter III of the Model Law apply unless they are inconsistent with the nature of an auction procedure.

Where ITC had not used competitive tendering, it had recorded and justified its reasons for not doing so in accordance with the categories provided for under United Nations financial rule 110.19.

As to its location, the Working Group may consider that the draft article should be presented as part of chapter II ( Methods of procurement and their conditions for use ) and, as a form of tendering, after the current article 19 ( Conditions for use of two stage tendering, requests for proposals or competitive negotiation ).

Secondly, they can enhance the efficient allocation of resources (reducing the time required to conduct a procurement, and reducing the administrative costs of the traditional open tendering procedure).

102. A suggestion was made that the characterization of the selection procedure set forth in article 41 sexies (12) as quot akin to tendering quot should be deleted.

Article 20. Conditions for use of restricted tendering

ITC informed the Board that in the past it had not undertaken competitive tendering for service contracts where it valued the experience of existing contractors, who continue to provide a high level of service.

This is also tantamount to circumventing the procedure of calling for competitive bids and submitting proposals to the Committee on Contracts.

Although this means that ERAs can be used in open tendering proceedings, it has been observed that, in practice, the restricted procedure will normally be used when an ERA is involved.

As per the project agreements, the implementing partners must also follow the procedure prescribed for UNHCR procurement including, inter alia, competitive bidding.

82. In May 1993, the Board observed that a special contract the United Nations had entered into with a freight forwarding agent, signed in 1987 for a three year period, had been extended twice without competitive tendering.

It's competitive.

Along the same lines, a view was expressed that it was incorrect to reverse, in the case of services, the general rule that tendering proceedings should be the preferred method of procurement since it contained the most open and competitive procedures.

In the interim report submitted in March 2005, the panel reported on the WAMCO contract, signed by the Minister of Lands and Mines Jonathan Mason, giving a monopoly over the purchase of diamonds to WAMCO without following any transparent competitive tendering process.

79. To ensure the provision of appropriate levels of service at lowest cost, the Board recommends that ITC carries out competitive tendering exercises for service contracts at more regular intervals than it has done in the past, ideally every two or three years.
