This report titled “Preferred Method of Procurement Chosen by the Different Government Procuring Entities” possesses an immense importance considering the similarity and difference among the various departments of Bangladesh. This paper considered two districts and four government departments who have greater number of e-contracts compared to other departments in a district. The data are collected from two districts are also verified from the official website of CPTU. This report compares between the last two financial year data of two districts representing in pie chart which indicates the percentage of methods applied by the four departments (LGED, RHD, EED and PWD). This report also tries to find out the similar number of contractor signed contract under the same procuring entity.

LGED Narshingdi choose mostly LTM tender in the last two financial years and LGED Perojpur did OTM, LTM and OSTETM tender and the similarity of same contractor is more greater in LGED Perojpur specially for OSTETM method.

RHD Narshingdi and Perojpur did 100% OTM tender in the last two financial years and only the big tenderer applied and responsive based on the (+/-) 10% limit and the calculation of past performance matrix. Only a few contractors were revolved in between them as they have the maximum turnover.

EED Narshingdi and Perojpur did mostly LTM tender and they also did some OTM tender which is larger in amount. There is the same picture in the OTM method that number of similarity of same contractor is high compared to LTM method and the big contractors are also revolved.

PWD Narshingdi and Perojpur did mostly LTM tender for maintenance work and some OTM tender for large work. For OTM tender the number of same contractor situation is found same as found for LGED and RHD for these two districts.

The turnover of a tenderer is the determinants for OTM tender and luck is the key factor for LTM tender. If the limitation for quoting tender amount is not restricted for OTM tender the scenario may be different from current situation.
