This work is part of a wider ongoing initiative for public procurement reform, which the RGoB is undertaking with World Bank and other donor funding, which also looks into areas concerning; 1) revisions to the legal framework (i.e. the procurement manual and supporting bidding and consultancy documents), 2) procurement complaints mechanisms, 3) the establishment of a public procurement policy mechanism, and 4) procurement capacity building through existing national training institutions. Under the agreed work plan for wider procurement reforms, the RGoB, in collaboration with the Bank and other donors in Bhutan, is working on the following areas: a) renewing the procurement manual and its accompanying standard bidding documents and request for proposals (largely completed), b) creating a public procurement policy mechanism, c) addressing the need for procurement grievance mechanisms, d) building the capacity of national institutions responsible for training people on public procurement, and e) introducing electronic forms of procurement. A key feature of an effective public procurement system is accountability, and accountability is driven by two ingredients - the probability of discovery and the consequences of the discovery of malpractice and negligence.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO THE INTERNETACCOUNTABILITIESACCOUNTABILITYACTION PLANSADMINISTRATIVE COSTSADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSESADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENTSADVERTISINGAGGRIEVED BIDDERSANTI- CORRUPTIONANTI-CORRUPTIONAPPLICATION OF INFORMATIONAUTHENTICATIONBID EVALUATIONBIDDERSBIDDINGBIDDING DOCUMENTSBROWSERBUSINESS APPLICATIONBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSBUSINESS CONTINUITYBUSINESS MODELBUSINESS SECTORBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCAPABILITIESCAPACITY BUILDINGCOLLUSIVE PRACTICESCOMMERCECOMMUNICATION STRATEGYCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMPLAINTCOMPLAINTSCOMPUTERSCONFIDENCECONFIDENTIALITYCONNECTIVITYCONTRACT AWARDCONTRACT MANAGEMENTCORRUPTCORRUPT PRACTICESCORRUPTIONDELIVERY TIMESDIGITAL DOCUMENTSDIGITAL SIGNATURESDISPUTE RESOLUTIONE-COMMERCEE-COMMERCE ISSUESE-GOVERNANCEE-GOVERNMENTE-PROCUREMENTE-REVERSE AUCTIONSE-SERVICESE-SIGNATURESE-TRANSACTIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTELECTRONIC DOCUMENTSELECTRONIC FORMATELECTRONIC FORMSELECTRONIC PROCUREMENTELECTRONIC SIGNATUREELECTRONIC SIGNATURESELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONSENTERPRISE ARCHITECTUREFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFUNCTIONALITYGENERAL PUBLICGLOBALIZATIONGOOD GOVERNANCEGOOD PROCUREMENTGOVERNMENT BIDDINGGOVERNMENT EXPENDITUREGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT POLICYGOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTGOVERNMENT SERVICESHARDWAREHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCESICTIMPLEMENTATION OF E-GOVERNMENTIMPLEMENTATION PLANIMPLEMENTATION PROCESSESIMPLEMENTATION STRATEGYINFORMATION SECURITYINFORMATION SPECIALISTSINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINITIATIVEINSPECTIONINSTALLATIONINTEGRITYINTERFACESINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICEINTERNATIONAL STANDARDINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTEROPERABILITYINVENTORYINVENTORY MANAGEMENTINVESTIGATIONLAWSLEADERSHIPLEGAL FRAMEWORKMAINTENANCE COSTSMANAGEMENT PROTOCOLSMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMATERIALMEDIAMEDIUM ENTERPRISESMINISTRY OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF WORKSMONOPOLYNATIONAL PROCUREMENTNATIONAL PROCUREMENT SYSTEMNATIONAL TRAININGNEW TECHNOLOGIESNEW TECHNOLOGYONLINE ADVERTISINGONLINE PAYMENTONLINE REGISTRATIONONLINE SECURITYONLINE SERVICEOPEN ACCESSOPEN STANDARDOPEN STANDARDSOUTSOURCINGPDFPENALTYPERFORMANCE MEASURESPRINT VERSIONSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATE SECTORSPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT ACTIVITIESPROCUREMENT CAPACITYPROCUREMENT EXPERIENCEPROCUREMENT FUNCTIONPROCUREMENT GUIDELINESPROCUREMENT ISSUESPROCUREMENT LAWPROCUREMENT LEGISLATIONPROCUREMENT MANUALPROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIESPROCUREMENT ORGANIZATIONPROCUREMENT PERFORMANCEPROCUREMENT PLANNINGPROCUREMENT POLICIESPROCUREMENT POLICYPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROCUREMENT PROCESSESPROCUREMENT PROFESSIONALSPROCUREMENT REGULATIONSPROCUREMENT RULESPROCUREMENT STAFFPROCUREMENT TRAININGPRODUCTIVITYPROTOCOLSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC ADVERTISEMENTPUBLIC BID OPENINGPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT ENVIRONMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT MARKETPUBLIC PROCUREMENT REFORMPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMSPUBLIC SECTOR PROCUREMENTQUALITY MANAGEMENTREGISTRYRELIABILITYREQUEST FOR PROPOSALSRESOURCE PLANNINGRESULTRESULTSSEARCHSECURITY MANAGEMENTSECURITY PROTOCOLSSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSITESSTANDARD BIDDINGSTANDARD BIDDING DOCUMENTSSUPPLIERSSYSTEM DEVELOPMENTTECHNICAL ARCHITECTURETECHNICAL ISSUESTECHNICAL STANDARDSTELECOMMUNICATIONSTENDERSTIME PERIODTIME PERIODSTRANSACTIONTRANSACTION PROCESSINGTRANSMISSIONTRANSPARENCYTYPES OF CONTRACTSUSERSVENDORVIRUSWEBWEB SERVICESWEB SITEWORKFLOW MANAGEMENTWorld Bank10.1596/8061
