As parliamentarians are reviewing the Procurement Act to make amendments, former Auditor General Anand Goolsarran suggests they take the opportunity to tighten the current Act to ensure loopholes are eliminated.Anand GoolsarranBut Government has always maintained it has one of the most progressive procurement processes.According to Goolsarran, the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) reports to the Minister of Finance, who is a member of Cabinet. Cabinet is responsible for giving “no objection” to contracts valued at $15 million and over. The Minister appoints all seven members of the NPTAB: not more than five persons from the Public Service; and not more than three from the private sector after consultation with their respective organizations. It is not publicly known who the members are and how long they have been in place.The NPTAB and its evaluation committees are the ones that determine who gets a contract, subject to the “no objection” from Cabinet. Again, it is not publicly known if there were instances where Cabinet objected to the award of a contract. Given the significant involvement of the Minister as it relates to the NPTAB, it would not be surprising that there were no such instances.Another weakness of the Act is the absence of the provision for the rotation of members of the various tender boards. It does not provide for ineligibility of members who would have served, say two terms, in keeping with international best practice.In addition, the Act lacks the involvement of the NTPAB in the prequalification of contractors, and it is left to the Ministry or Department to do so. This is a significant risk.He noted that the Act does not apply to procurement involving national defence or national security cases.“Over the years, the Guyana Defence Force has been one of the worst violators of the tendering process,Jerseys NFL China, and it is not clear what alternative procedures the Army uses in relation to the procurement of goods/services and the execution of works.”The Auditor General’s report for 2012 sheds no light on this, and there has been no commentary in relation to the award of contracts.
