M. Sadik Public Procurement always tries to achieve value for money and assure best service through maintaining transparency and accountability in spending fund provided by Government or other development partners. These spending are regulated by Public Procurement Regulation. The Public Procurement Act (PPA 2006) and Public Procurement Regulation (PPR 2008) were made effective with effect from 31 January, 2008. The regulation PPR 2008 is strictly followed by various public sector organizations in public procurement of Bangladesh. On the other hand, development partners like the World Bank and others also have their own procurement guideline. Contract management is a process what starts from selecting supplier to completing the project. It may be assumed that not all contract management issues have same level of clarity or complexity- some may have advantageous features over others. So it is expected that if these procurement guidelines and & standard contract documents could be thoroughly compared, analyzed and contextualized with respect to Bangladesh, we would be able to understand which one works well in which managerial context. In view of aforesaid perspective, this research is intended to carry out a comparative study on few selected contract management issues being faced in the field of procurement- which are being practiced by the public sector organizations and different development partners operating in Bangladesh.

Rashedul The PPR – 2008, WB guidelines and ADB Guidelines are basically prepared for the proper guidance of the procurement at the same time it also provide legal support and a restrictive boundary for the parties involved in procurement. This dissertation mainly deals with the comparison of these three guidelines regarding evaluation procedure of the Intellectual and Professional services contract. In the evaluation it covers EOI evaluation, Technical Evaluation, Financial Evaluation and Combined evaluation. It also mainly describes the QCBS method and other methods are not described in detail. This comparison is done by reviewing the three guidelines thoroughly and specific points are taken into account. In ADB Guidelines there is a provision of long listing while EOIs are being evaluated. After that a final short list is prepared. On the contrary in WB guidelines and in PPR – 2008 there is no provision for long listing. In case of ADB the participants must me of ADB member countries and not more than one firm from same country and the total number of the shortlisted firms should six. Similarly WB guidelines also suggest the total number is six but the difference is not more than two firms from the same country. However PPR – 2008 suggests that the number shortlisted firms should not be less than four and at the same time not more than seven. In case of technical evaluation it is mentioned in ADB guidelines that the total score should be 1000 and on the other hand this total score is 100 for WB guidelines and PPR – 2008. There are also some differences in the allocation of points although the calculation procedures of points or scores are same. In case of financial evaluation ADB point out about two things one is maximum contract budget and the other is estimated budget. If GEFP of consultants exceeds maximum contract budget then the financial proposal is not considered for evaluation on the other hand if GEFP exceeds the estimated budget then the proposal is not discarded and taken under consideration. ADB also evaluates financial proposals based on NEEPs. On the contrary WB guidelines and PPR – 2008 evaluate their proposal based on total offered price. The approving authority in ADB funded projects is ADB officials and for WB funded projects are WB officials. In both cases no objection certificate is to be collected by the procuring entity at every step for clearance. In case of PPR – 2008 the approving authority is HOPE or the delegated person depending upon the financial power. It is mentioned in PPR – 2008 that PPR will not be functional when development partners are involved and their guidelines will prevail in that case. And at last it can be said that the maximum guidance in the three guidelines are almost same and there are some minor difference in some specific cases and this similarity eventually helps the procuring entity to be accustomed easily with all the guidelines.
