PPRA Tenders Pakistan – The Anomalies

PPRA (The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority) is an autonomous body responsible for defining regulations and procedures for public procurements by Federal Government owned public sector in Pakistan .It also monitors procurement process by public sector agencies/organizations in order to improve governance, management, transparency, accountability and quality of public procurement of goods, works and services.

It is mandatory for the public sector organizations owned by Federal Government to advertise on the PPRA website,( all the procurements over one hundred thousand rupees and up to the limit of two million rupees), according to the manner and format specified by PPRA from time to time.

All procurement opportunities over two million rupees should be advertised on the PPRA website as well as in other print media or newspapers having wide circulation, in at least two national dailies, one in English and the other in Urdu.

However it has been observed that many public sector organizations do not observe the manner and format specified by PPRA while uploading the tenders on PPRA web portal. The following anomalies have been noted:

Covering Letter

Many public sector organizations also upload the covering letter along with the tender addressed to the regional director, press information department or to the deputy director, public procurement regulatory authority. This is an official correspondence which should not be visible to the contractors or suppliers.

Poor Quality Of Photocopy

The quality of many uploaded tenders is poor which makes it difficult to read the tender specifications properly.

Editable Word Format

Many public sector organizations upload their tenders in world format which are downloaded in the same format. One can easily change the specifications or quantity and price etc in this editable format. This thing can cause complications in some cases. The tender advertisement should always be in a non changeable format.

Keeping in view the above mentioned anomalies the public sector organizations should strictly adhere to the manner and format specified by PPRA from time to time. This will help to improve governance, management, transparency, accountability and quality of public procurement of goods, works and services.

Pakistan Press International $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Pakistan Press International (PPI) is a news agency founded in June 1956 as Pakistan Press Association (PPA). The name was changed in 1968. It was first started by Mr. Muzzam Ali, the Chief Editor of Associated Press of Pakistan (APP). The agency objective was to provide competition to APPs monopoly. It began its service by hand, only in Karachi. PPA also built up a network of correspondents in the smaller cities and towns in Pakistan. This was in contrast to APP, which had coverage in a limited number of large cities. For foreign news the agency signed up with the Agence FrancePresse (AFP) in 1957, and a year later became the first Asian partner of DPA. PPA also posted a correspondent in the Middle East, an area of special interest to Pakistani newspapers. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
