“…European Union, 2004;United Nations, 2006World Bank, 2011;EuropeAID, 2014) provide two main contract awarding approaches, namely: a price-only (lowest price) criterion or weighted multiple criteria (MEAT or BV) (Dini et al, 2006). Generally, the lowest price is recommended for procurement, where the technical specifications or statement of works, as well as bill of quantities, are clear (Dini et al, 2006). On the other hand, a weighted multiple criteria approach is used for more complex procurement where the evaluation requires a number of criteria other than price to be considered and balanced in order to ensure best value for money and where there are different types of scales to be used for the various elements of the offer (Dini et al, 2006).…”

“…The problem lies in knowing how the economic scoring affects the bidders' aggressive/conservative behaviour (Ballesteros-Pérez, González-Cruz, Pastor-Ferrando et al, 2012), the bias or unfairness of bidder ranking, or how it even facilitates collusion among competitors (Dini et al, 2006). However, no attempts have been made to date to propose a unified classification of the current economic scoring rules (named here as an economic scoring formula, or ESF) that affect the bid price, to differentiate them from the technical/quality bid factors that are also scored and weighed in order to award a contract (not addressed in this study).…”

When designing a national public procurement system, the degree of centralization (or, equivalently, the degree of demand aggregation) is one of the most crucial as well as puzzling policy choices. Centralized procurement has been traditionally considered as an instrument to reduce public spending. In more recent years, though, and particularly after the 2008 global financial turmoil, a growing interest has arisen among both policy makers and researchers in government procurement as a lever to pursue broader policy goals, such as competitive markets structure, sustainable development and innovation. This paper reviews and discusses several issues related both to the rationales and to the practical implementation of centralized procurement strategies, with a particular focus on the procurement of goods and services.

Abnormally Low Tenders in Non-pricing Criteria: the Need for Control

As public procurement accounts for approximately 10 to 15% of gross domestic product (GDP) in developed countries, tendering mechanisms should be clearly defined in order to avoid any actions that could endanger the basic principle that all bidders should be on equal terms. An Abnormally Low Tender (ALT) is defined as an offer too low to provide a normal level of profit and that cannot be explained on the basis of construction methods, the technical solution chosen, the originality of the work, or the favorable conditions of the tenderer. Public bodies are well aware of the risk of accepting an offer that cannot be carried out and despite the difficulty of detection recommendations for their prevention usually focus on the price criterion. Most tenders are awarded to the economically most advantageous tender (EMAT), which is assessed by various criteria (including price), though other criteria often have equal or greater weight in the final decision. The method used in this research study is divided into two main phases. First, the score of the bidders is obtained for criteria evaluated by formulae other than price, based on the contract terms of three case studies, after which new scores for these award criteria are obtained from ALT formulae, then, the results of both scoring methods are analyzed. This paper defends the need to control abnormally low tenders by means of award criteria evaluated by formulae other than those of price.
