- Transparency in Tenders
Transparency in tenders refers to all measures taken to ensure that the tendering process is conducted in a fair and clear manner for all involved parties. Transparency is a fundamental pillar of the tendering system because it enhances trust between announcing bodies and competitors and protects public funds from corruption or mismanagement.
Principles of Transparency
- Public Announcement: Publishing tender details through multiple channels to ensure access to all competitors.
- Fair Evaluation: Using standardized criteria to evaluate bids without any discrimination.
- Documentation: Recording all stages of the tender to ensure they can be reviewed.
- Disclosure of Results: Announcing the results of the award and explaining the reasons for selecting the winning bid.
Tools to Enhance Transparency
- Electronic Platforms: Such as the Manafes Etimad platform, which provides unified access and clear tracking for all competitors.
- Clear Rules and Regulations: Defining tender policies in a way that ensures all parties understand them.
- Periodic Reports: Publishing reports that show progress in project implementation.
Benefits of Transparency
- Enhancing Trust: Assures competitors that the process is fair and free from bias.
- Reducing Corruption: Prevents unethical practices like bid manipulation.
- Achieving Efficiency: Ensures that submitted bids meet all conditions and specifications.
Challenges Associated with Transparency
- Delays in Announcement: Lack of immediate disclosure of information may lead to objections.
- Administrative Complexity: Transparency requires intensive documentation and management of all stages.
- Fear of Disputes: Excessive transparency may lead to an increase in complaints from competitors.
Transparency is not just a legal requirement but a necessity to improve trust among all parties and ensure that project objectives are achieved efficiently and effectively.
