How to deal with Abnormally Low Bids (ALB) The stages to treatment of an ALB:

• 1. Identify: the PE identifies a potential ALB based on

comparison with available prices from the market, or with the cost estimate;

• 2. Clarify: the PE seeks clarification from the Bidder/proposer;
• 3. Justify: the Bidder prepares a justification of their price

based on the request from the PE;

• 4. Verify: the PE fully aalyzes the Bidder’s justification to verify

if it is an ALB; and

• 5. Decide: the PE fully documents the decision to accept or

reject the Bid (with the no-objection of DP, if required).

Incoterms used in Public Procurement

• CFR: Cost ad Freight eas that the seller delivers when the

goods pass the ship's rail in the port of shipment. Seller must pay the costs & freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port

• f destination, BUT the risk of loss or damage, as well as any

additional costs due to events occurring after the time of delivery are transferred from seller to buyer. Seller must clear goods for

• export. This term can only be used for ocean transport;
• CIF: Cost, Isurace ad Freight eas that the seller delivers

when the goods pass the ship's rail in the port of shipment. Seller must pay the cost & freight necessary to bring goods to named port

• f destination. Risk of loss & damage same as CFR. Seller also has to

procure marine insurance against buyer's risk of loss/damage during the carriage. Seller must clear the goods for export. This term can only be used for ocean transport;

• CIP: Carriage ad Isurace Paid to eas that the seller delivers

the goods to the carrier or another person nominated by the seller at an agreed place (if any such place is agreed between parties) and that the seller must contract for and pay the costs of carriage necessary to bring the goods to the named place of destination.

Domestic Preference PPR 2008 spells out very clearly about the domestic preferences:

• In case of procurement of goods its not exceeding 15% of the

delivered price; [Rule 83(1)(e)];

• In case of works its not exceeding 7.5%; [Rule 98(21)(e)];
• In case of service procurement, for international bidding, the

PE may assign some point of technical score (e.g. 5-10) taking into account type of services.

Contract Management

• It is a challenge in case of public procurement of Bangladesh.

PPA 2006 and PPR 2008 is very clear and specific up to contract award. But is not that specific about the contract management issue. CPTU is working on it to bring the issue in the PPR.

• Grievance redressal mechanism is there. There are two levels

namely: Administrative level and the Review Panel level. Once the administrative level fail to address properly the complaints of the Tenderer, the review panel a quasi-judicial body is in existence. Even if they fail, the law of the land is there to address the grievances so unresolved .
