- 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

  1. Public Announcement: Publishing tender details through multiple channels to ensure access to all competitors.
  2. Fair Evaluation: Using standardized criteria to evaluate bids without any discrimination.
  3. Documentation: Recording all stages of the tender to ensure they can be reviewed.
  4. 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

  1. Enhancing Trust: Assures competitors that the process is fair and free from bias.
  2. Reducing Corruption: Prevents unethical practices like bid manipulation.
  3. 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.
