Introduction This article is based on the review of standard bidding documents from several organizations including the World Bank , Millennium Challenge Corporation , the PublicProcurement and Concession Commission of the Republic of Liberia , and PublicProcurement Authority of Ghana.
Their business facilitates access to procurement information, providing powerful analytics that help companies to search for new opportunities, prepare bids, and evaluate their performance on past tenders. The system works by collecting publicprocurement data and structuring it in the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) format.
The team developed a three-pronged strategy: talk to MSMEs and build their capacity to bid on contracts; simplify the bidding process for smaller businesses; and use innovative technology to better measure and manage opportunities for small business vendors. and the total value awarded to MSMEs has remained steady.
Small businesses struggle to understand how to bid for public contracts and put time aside to apply to this market, especially as they normally don’t have someone dedicated to that tasks,” highlights Cristian Sosa, Vice President of Paraguayan business association ASEPY that supports smaller businesses.
This is further developed into policies and procedures, procurement and contract administration manuals and guidelines, including standard bidding documents which are used for inviting bids and proposals. Adherence to the publicprocurement rules is obligatory and infractions are punishable by law. How is it done?
Importantly, the top three layers are centralised and the European Commission has responsibility (and funding) for developing them, while the bottom data layer is decentralised, with each Member State retaining responsibility for digitalising its publicprocurementsystems and connecting its data sources to the PPDS.
