The province is blessed with a large number of natural resources which are to a great extent unexplored and unutilized. It has an 1100-kilometer coastline which can prove to be an important trade corridor in the region by connecting China and Central Asian republics in the north to the sea in the south and India, Bangladesh in the East. Economic development is needed to deal with significant structural problems both political and socio-economic. Under the auspices of The World Bank, this intervention for assessing the procurement systems of the provincial with the objective of benchmarking the performance of procurement management systems was embarked upon. This report covers the assessment for the province of Balochistan undertaken in the month of September 2006. This snapshot of procurement systems performance assessment is mainly based on historical data and current practices observed during the mission.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGAMENDMENTANNUAL BUDGETAUDITOR GENERALAUDITORSBIDDING DOCUMENTSBIDSBUDGET CIRCULARBUDGET FRAMEWORKBUDGET PLANNINGBUDGET TRANSFERSCAPACITY BUILDINGCASH FLOWCASH FLOWSCENTRAL BANKCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL WORKSCOMPETITORSCOMPLAINTCOMPLAINTSCONSULTATIONSCONSULTING SERVICESCONTRACT AWARDCONTRACT AWARDSCONTRACTORCONTRACTORSCONTROL MECHANISMSCORRUPT PRACTICESCOUNCILSDEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONDEPARTMENTS OF FINANCEDISCLOSUREDOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTSDOMESTIC FIRMSDONOR AGENCIESDUE PROCESSECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEVALUATION CRITERIAEVALUATION PERIODEVALUATION PROCESSEXTERNAL AUDITFINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITYFINANCIAL PROPOSALSFINANCIAL REPORTINGFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFOREIGN BIDDERSGOOD PROCUREMENTGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTGOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT SYSTEMINFORMATIONINTERNAL AUDITINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIONLEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLYLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSMARKET PRICESMETHOD OF PROCUREMENTMINISTERMINISTRY OF FINANCEMULTILATERAL DONORSMUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATIONNATIONAL BANKNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSNATIONAL PROCUREMENTNATIONAL PROCUREMENT SYSTEMSNATURAL RESOURCESOPEN TENDERINGPERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPOTENTIAL BIDDERSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT ASSESSMENTPROCUREMENT AUDITSPROCUREMENT DECISIONSPROCUREMENT ENTITYPROCUREMENT FOR GOODSPROCUREMENT GUIDELINESPROCUREMENT METHODSPROCUREMENT OF GOODSPROCUREMENT OF SERVICESPROCUREMENT OF WORKSPROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIESPROCUREMENT PRACTICEPROCUREMENT PRACTICESPROCUREMENT PROCEDURESPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROCUREMENT RULESPROCUREMENT SPECIALISTPROCUREMENT SYSTEMSPROCUREMENTSPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTPROVINCIAL LEVELPROVISIONSPUBLICPUBLIC ACCOUNTPUBLIC ACCOUNTSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC ENTERPRISESPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC INTERESTPUBLIC OPENING OF BIDSPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERYQUALIFICATION CRITERIAQUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTSREGULATORY AUTHORITYREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY INSTRUMENTSSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSOCIAL WELFARESOLICITATIONSTANDARD BIDDINGSTANDARD BIDDING DOCUMENTSSTANDARD CONDITIONS OF CONTRACTSTANDARDS OF TRANSPARENCYSUPPLIERSTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSTENDER BOXTENDER DOCUMENTSTENDER NOTICESTENDERSTYPES OF EXPENDITURESTYPES OF PROCUREMENTVENDORWorld Bank10.1596/7771
