Relevance of the UNCITRAL Model Procurement Law

  • Basis for a sound procurement law

framework (modern, stable, predictable, harmonized with international standards )

  • Facilitates e-procurement (e-publication, e-

submission, e-meetings, e-tender opening, e-evaluation, ERAs and e-FWAs)

  • Promotes unitary and strategic approach to

procurement

  • Provides for practical measures to achieve

traceability, transparency, accountability

Experience with the use of the 2011 Model Law:

  • bstacles to performance measurement
  • Issues with data collection, aggregation and analysis

(design of systems, parallel systems, issues of standardization, interoperability and treatment of sensitive info)

  • Data and access manipulation (human intervention where

it is not supposed to be, objectivity where it cannot be: pursuing socio-economic goals through procurement, best price-quality ratio, etc.)

  • Obsession with recouping of costs instead of cost-benefit

analysis, with short-term vs. long-term impact, with one solution instead of combination of several

  • E-government: absence of strategic approach to

procurement

Lessons learned

  • Transparency is important but alone is not

sufficient

  • E-procurement has no automatic effect on

enhanced transparency – depends on a set-up and policies – only potential is there

  • Excessive transparency may in fact be

disruptive and damaging

  • Professionalization of a procurement

function, capacity-building and change in culture is paramount
