Abstract
This document provides an assessment of
the public procurement system in Sindh province using the
baseline indicators system developed by the Development
Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD-DAC). This assessment,
interviews and discussions were held with stakeholders from
the public and private sectors as well as civil society.
Developing country governments and donors have a mutual
interest in increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and
transparency of procurement systems. Both have worked
together under the auspices of the World Bank and OECD-DAC
procurement round table initiative to develop a set of tools
and standards to support and guide improvements in
procurement systems. These tools include: (i) benchmarking
for assessing the structure of public procurement systems,
and (ii) monitoring and evaluation of public procurement
systems. A key analytical tool developed for benchmarking is
the baseline indicators system which comprises four pillars:
1) the legislative and regulatory framework; 2)
institutional framework and management capacity; 3)
procurement operations and market practices; and 4)
integrity and transparency of the public procurement system.
