Volume I describes the key findings on the effectiveness and transparency of the present Public Procurement System and includes a recommended action plan for improving the system. Vol. II presents the in-depth study of the existing Financial Regulations, Guidelines and the legal system in relation to procurement (in the absence of a Public Procurement Law), procedures followed for Government-funded programs vis-à-vis those funded with external assistance, standardization of documents, and the organizational setup for procurement processing and implementation, together with a General Risk Assessment. The CPAR is based on the responses to the questionnaires received, documents reviewed and interviews held. The team sent out three sets of questionnaires: one for selected government ministries, a second for the selected implementing agencies which had major procurements, and a third for the contractors' association; and reviewed their responses.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCREDITATION SYSTEMADBADJUDICATIONADJUSTMENT LENDINGANTI-BRIBERYANTI-CORRUPTIONARBITRATION ACTARBITRATION RULESARBITRATORARBITRATORSAUDITINGAUDITSAWARD OF CONTRACTSBID OPENINGBIDDERSBONDSBUDGET ALLOCATIONCENTRAL BANK OF SRI LANKACIVIL SERVICECOMMON LAWCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCONDITIONS OF CONTRACTCONSULTING SERVICESCONSUMERCONTRACT ADMINISTRATIONCONTRACT AWARDCONTRACT AWARDSCONTRACT LAWCONTRACT PERFORMANCECONTRACT PROVISIONSCONTRACTING AUTHORITYCONTRACTORCONTRACTORSCOUNTRY PROCUREMENT ASSESSMENTCOUNTRY PROCUREMENT ASSESSMENT REPORTCOURTSCUSTOMSDEBTDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDOMESTIC CONTRACTORSECONOMIC REFORMELECTRICITYEMPLOYMENTFINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL REGULATIONSFOREIGN CONTRACTORSFOREIGN EXCHANGEHOUSINGIMPLEMENTING AGENCIESINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVE BIDDINGINTERNATIONAL TRADE LAWJUDICIAL POWERSJUDICIARYLAW ON ARBITRATIONLAWSLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL PROVISIONSLETTER OF CREDITLEVEL PLAYING FIELDLOAN COMMITMENTSLOCAL CONSULTING FIRMSLOCAL COUNCILSLOCAL GOVERNMENTMEDIATIONMINISTRY OF FINANCEMINISTRY OF JUSTICEMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTNATIONAL PROCUREMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNEGOTIATIONSNEW CONTRACTPENSIONSPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT ACTIONSPROCUREMENT CAPACITYPROCUREMENT CONTRACTSPROCUREMENT FUNCTIONPROCUREMENT FUNCTIONSPROCUREMENT GUIDELINESPROCUREMENT ISSUESPROCUREMENT LEGISLATIONPROCUREMENT OF CONSULTANT SERVICESPROCUREMENT OF WORKSPROCUREMENT POLICYPROCUREMENT PROCEDURESPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROCUREMENT PROCESSINGPROCUREMENT REFORMPROCUREMENT SPECIALISTPROCUREMENT TRAININGPROCUREMENTSPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTSPROVISIONSPUBLICPUBLIC AGENCIESPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC ENTERPRISESPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT CONTRACTSPUBLIC PROCUREMENT LAWPUBLIC PROCUREMENT OF GOODSPUBLIC PROCUREMENT PROCEDURESPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMPUBLIC PROCURING ENTITIESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCEPUBLIC SECTOR PROCUREMENTQUALIFICATION CRITERIAQUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTSRAILWAYSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREQUEST FOR PROPOSALSRISK ASSESSMENTROADSSALE OF GOODSSOCIAL SERVICESSTANDARD BIDDINGSTANDARD BIDDING DOCUMENTSSTATE OWNED ENTERPRISESSUPPLIERSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EVALUATION COMMITTEESTELECOMMUNICATIONSTENDER BOARDTENDER BOARDSTENDER DOCUMENTSTENDER PROCEDURETENDERSTIME LIMITTRANSPARENCYTREASURYTYPES OF CONTRACTSUNSOLICITED PROPOSALSURBAN DEVELOPMENTWATER SUPPLYWRITTEN COMMUNICATIONWorld Bank
