This project is designed to be used by the public sector and other researchers who
will be dealing with assessment of effectiveness of tendering process in the public
sector.
The study was carried out for about six months, and during this time the researcher
participated fully in the day to day activities in tendering processes.
In gathering data the researcher used interview, participation, observation and
documentary review methods. The study has observed that despite being into
exercise over ten (10) years, tendering process at MOHSW is ineffective due to the
following: Some of the evaluation team members are not committed to the exercise,
also Evaluation team does not spend enough time in the evaluation activity because
they have been assigned other task to in their departments. Most of the evaluators
lack skills of using excels programme in financial evaluation and PMU delay in
receiving requirement from the user department which cause the delays of all
procedures of tendering process and sometimes the funds allocated does not utilized
fully.
The main objectives of this study were: To evaluate the performance of tendering
processes, to examine if the public sector follows the tender procedures from initial
stage up to contract award and to examine the problems associated with tendering
process.
To suggest the solutions when the complaints arises: Furthermore the researcher
identified some weaknesses such as in competency among bidders to fill tender
documents, difficultly in understanding Language used and inadequate capital among
some bidders to finance business. On the problems identified different
recommendation have been made to rectify situation and hence improve tendering
process in public sector. Briefly the researcher recommends that: The MTB Secretary
should appoint evaluators who are competent, committed and provide enough time
for evaluation with strict supervision. The PMU should work with users to ensure
that requirements are consolidated early and PPRA should continue to train both
suppliers and bidders. |
