Starting bid over or underpriced - Overpriced starting bid to over-inflate the budget or show imaginary control of budget for personal gain - Underpriced starting bid due to insufficient knowledge of market quotations on the given type of work • Establishment of an average price per unit for all services in accordance with industry associations and the statistical agency 2. Price as leading factor in the evaluation of proposals - Supplier can win auction by simply lowering the price 20% - 40% - Not enough evaluation of quality in auctions, quality in service sector correlates with price • Lower weight of price in evaluation criteria down to 40% • Raise weighting of quality 3. Price dumping - Suppliers don’t calculate their costs accurately and are unable to finish their contract at all or with sufficient quality or in time • Recommendation to reject all proposals from suppliers when the sum of order is over 15% of their annual revenue 24.03.2016 MOSCOW SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SKOLKOVO 5 Pain Points for FL №94: Analysis and Recommendations 4. Risk of failure by supplier for the state - Suppliers are not able to stay within the first proposed budget - Suppliers run out of money before finishing their contract • Introduce mandatory detailed plan of working steps to be submitted by the supplier • Payment is not done upfront and is instead done only after each completed working step 5. No differentiation in the procurement process regarding the size of the order - Same procedures for an evaluation of a 100,000 Ruble contract as a 20 mln. rubles contract • Introduce harsh pre-qualification requirements for tenders over 2 000,000 rubles 6. Qualitative evaluation of proposals by the civil servant missing the necessary classification of sectors and sub sectors - Classification of services is sometimes misleading in e- auctions - Classification and scope of work not clarified in civil servants proposal • Establishment of strict guidelines for proposals by the civil servant • Establish a classification for services, sectors and subsectors 24.03.2016 MOSCOW SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SKOLKOVO 6 Pain Points for FL №94: Analysis and Recommendations 7. Board of control - Under current law the board of control must consist of at least 5 people, however these people can be employees of the contractor or civil servant • Our recommendation is to include experts from industry associations onto the board of control 8. No protection against disregardful participants - Currently only companies are listed in the register of disregardful market participants • Our recommendation is to include disregardful individuals into register of disregardful participants and deny them the opportunity to open new companies under their control 9. Lack of transparency and criteria for assessment of quality delivered by the supplier - Access to information about the results of tenders, their detailed assessment and information about the quality and result of work are restricted • Need for transparency to public regarding results of a tender and the evaluation of quality criteria in auctions • Need for transparency to public regarding the progress of work along each step of the job •Ability to cancel contract by contractor and name no.2 at auction on each step 24.03.2016 MOSCOW SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SKOLKOVO 7 The Problem of FL №94 Before the Law Today • Over inflation of Budget and corruption • No or only Imaginary economy of budget • High margins for contractor • Economy of Budget by supplier • Lack of quality in services • No profits / looses for contractor • Unqualified suppliers misuse the system Must be optimal outcome when there is a balance between the State and Business interests in the state procurement 24.03.2016 MOSCOW SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SKOLKOVO 8 The Team Goal 3 Upper than 2 mln. rub. 1 Prequalification Requirements 2 Forming starting Bid 4 Bid Price Barrier Auction Quality criteria Up to 2 mln. rub. 4 steps to create the Evaluation System for Bidders in the Field of Intellectual Services 24.03.2016 MOSCOW SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT SKOLKOVO 9 Step 1 and 2: Bid Price 1.
