Policies and Guidelines >> Tender
and Award Process
In
keeping with its focus on reducing implementation
delay and promoting transparency, the Guidelines
specify the tender evaluation committees for infrastructure
projects as a mix of members from the Executing
Agency/Line Ministry, other Ministries and investor
representatives/non-government.
The following criteria is used for pre-qualification
in a Large Infrastructure Project:
(a) |
Establishment as a legal entity in Bangladesh |
(b) |
Sufficient technical and managerial capability |
(c) |
Financial capability to carry out the Project |
(d) |
Experience in developing similar projects |
(e) |
Experience in operating similar projects |
(f) |
Experience in ownership of similar projects |
For Small Infrastructure Projects, a relaxation
of the requirements in (c), (d) and (e) above has
been specified to ensure that local entrepreneurs
do not face discrimination. The required experience
and ownership should be for process or industrial
plants or other non-infrastructure investments.
A tendered for a Private Infrastructure Project
needs to submit an envelope containing the technical
and financial proposal. The evaluation criterion
for the financial envelope may be:
(a) |
lowest present value of tariff, tolls, fees or charges; |
(b) |
highest present value or percentage of revenue sharing; |
(c) |
lump-sum amount of cash to the Government; |
(d) |
shortest Contract term; |
(e) |
lowest present value of subsidy over the contract period; |
(f) |
firm commitment for ongoing investment, capacity expansion, more connection etc.; |
(g) |
highest present value of lease payment or rent; |
(h) |
Lowest present value of management fees. |
In order to reduce implementation delay, indicative
times have been given for each activity and government
approval during the tender process. Implementation
is segregated into seven stages from conception
to commercial operations. Unique milestones separate
these stages. PICOM monitors and expedites the movement
of Projects through these stages, using good project
management techniques which will lead to early completion
of the project.
