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.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITIESACCOUNTABILITYADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENTSADVERTISINGANNUAL PROCUREMENTANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION MEASURESARBITRATION ACTAUDITORAUDITORSAWARD DECISIONAWARD OF CONTRACTAWARD OF CONTRACTSBANKSBEST PRACTICEBEST PRACTICESBID EVALUATIONBID OPENINGBIDDERBIDDERSBIDSBUDGET ALLOCATIONCAPABILITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCERTIFICATECERTIFICATIONCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONCIVIL WORKSCLAUSECLAUSESCODE OF CONDUCTCODES OF CONDUCTCOMPETITIVE MARKETCOMPETITIVE PROCEDURECOMPETITIVE PROCEDURESCOMPLAINTCOMPLAINTSCOMPLEX GOODSCONFIDENTIALITYCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONSULTING ENGINEERCONSULTING ENGINEERSCONSULTING FIRMCONSULTING FIRMSCONSULTING SERVICESCONTRACT ADMINISTRATIONCONTRACT AWARDCONTRACT AWARD INFORMATIONCONTRACT AWARDSCONTRACT CONDITIONSCONTRACT COSTCONTRACT EXECUTIONCONTRACT MANAGEMENTCONTRACTORCONTRACTORSCONTROL FRAMEWORKCONTROL MECHANISMSCONTROL SYSTEMCORRUPTCORRUPT PRACTICESCRIMINALDATA ANALYSISDISCLOSUREDISCRETIONDISPUTE RESOLUTIONDUE PROCESSE-PROCUREMENTECONOMIC CLIMATEECONOMIC COOPERATIONEND-USERSEQUIPMENTETHICSEVALUATION CRITERIAEVALUATION PROCESSEVALUATION REPORTEXTERNAL AUDITFEDERAL GOVERNMENTFEDERAL PROCUREMENTFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMFINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSFOREIGN CONTRACTORFRAUDFRAUDULENT PRACTICESFUNCTIONALITYGOVERNMENT OFFICIALGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT POLICYGOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTGOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT SYSTEMHARMONIZATIONIMPLEMENTING AGENCIESIMPLEMENTING AGENCYINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINITIATIVEINSPECTIONINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINTEGRITYINTERNAL AUDIT MECHANISMSINTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMSINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICEINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICESINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVE BIDDINGJOINT VENTUREJUDICIAL SYSTEMLAWSLEGAL BASISLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL SYSTEMLICENSELICENSE FEELOCAL GOVERNMENTMANDATEMANDATESMARKET PRICESMEDIAMETHOD OF ACCEPTANCEMINISTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVE BIDDINGNEGOTIATIONSOPEN COMPETITIONOPEN COMPETITIVE BIDDINGPCPENALTIESPERFORMANCESPOLICESPOST-QUALIFICATIONPREFERENTIALPREFERENTIAL TREATMENTPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATE SECTORSPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT ACTIONSPROCUREMENT ACTIVITIESPROCUREMENT AUDITPROCUREMENT AUDITSPROCUREMENT CONTRACTPROCUREMENT FUNCTIONSPROCUREMENT MANUALPROCUREMENT METHODPROCUREMENT METHODSPROCUREMENT NOTICESPROCUREMENT OF SERVICESPROCUREMENT OPERATIONSPROCUREMENT PERFORMANCEPROCUREMENT PLANPROCUREMENT PLANNINGPROCUREMENT PLANSPROCUREMENT POSITIONSPROCUREMENT PROCEDURESPROCUREMENT PROCEEDINGSPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROCUREMENT PROCESSESPROCUREMENT RECORDSPROCUREMENT REFORMPROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTSPROCUREMENT RULESPROCUREMENT SYSTEMSPROCUREMENT TRAININGPROCUREMENT TRANSACTIONSPROCUREMENTSPROCURING ENTITYPROVISIONSPUBLICPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT MARKETPUBLIC PROCUREMENT OF GOODSPUBLIC PROCUREMENT OPERATIONSPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMSQUALIFICATION CRITERIAQUALITY CHECKSQUALITY CONTROLREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY SYSTEMRELIABILITYREMEDYREQUESTS FOR PROPOSALSREQUESTS FOR QUOTATIONSRESULTRESULTSSCOPE OF WORKSECURITY PROTOCOLSSERVICE DELIVERYSOLICITATIONSSPECIFIC CLAUSESSTANDARD BIDDINGSTANDARD BIDDING DOCUMENTSSTANDARD CONDITIONS OF CONTRACTSTANDARD DOCUMENTSSTANDARD PROCEDURESSUPERVISIONSUPPLIERSTARGETSTECHNICAL EVALUATIONSTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSTENDER DOCUMENTSTENDER NOTICESTENDERSTIME FRAMETIME LIMITSTRANSPARENCYUSERWEBWorld Bank10.1596/3107
