KUWAIT: Procurement and Law

Posted on August 8, 2012 by admin

Tenders and Procurement in Kuwait

Kuwait, an autonomous Arab state located in the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia, occupies an area of 17,820 square kilometers (6,880 square miles) with a population of around 3.5 million. It is a constitutional land with a democratic system of government. Kuwait has the world’s fifth largest oil reserves and petroleum products.

The World Bank has classified Kuwait as a high income economy and designated it as a major non-NATO ally of the United States.

The Legal System in Kuwait:

The State of Kuwait complies with the civil law system (or known as the Latin system). Kuwaiti Law derives from the Egyptian and French codes.

Industry

In Kuwait, industry contains a number of large export-oriented petrochemical units, oil refineries, and a range of small manufacturers. It also involves large water desalinization, ammonia, desulphurization, fertilizer, brick, block, and cement plants.

Tendering process:

In Kuwait, as a general rule, a public authority may only procure equipment and commodities, and commission works through an independently administered tendering process. Public tendering is regularized by Law 37 of 1964, Law 18 of 1970 and Law 81 of 1977 as amended.

The Central Tendering Committee:

The Central Tendering Committee (CTC) plays a major role in the streamlining and development of work in government organizations. It administers the tendering processes for most public institutions though the client body (i.e. the public body requiring the service) pulls up the specifications and particular conditions it requires, reviews pre-qualifying companies, and evaluates bids technically.

On the other hand, various public institutions have their own tendering procedures, but the procedures are in essence the same as CTC procedures, and all activities relating to public tenders, such as tender announcements, invitations to pre-qualify, pre-tender meetings, and amendments to conditions and specifications, are only issued in the official gazette.

Funding:

Normally, the government provides funding for major projects, but in recent years other forms of financing, such as credit facilities supported by export credit agencies (ECAs) and build-own-transfer (BOT) type schemes, have also been attempted.

 

Pre-Qualification in Kuwait:

In some public tenders participation is restricted to firms who have been pre-qualified. A firm presents a standard set of documents outlining its financial and technical capabilities to the CTC to prequalify.

Foreign firms have to prequalify every time they bid for a public contract, their applications should be submitted by their Kuwaiti agent and must be attached with an authenticated copy of the agency agreement.

Classification Committee:

The Contractors for Public Tenders Classification Committee was created for the Central Tenders Committee to preserve the competency level of the contractors taking part in the tenders of the ministries of the State of Kuwait.

The Classification Committee conducts classification as per to its approved standards for the contractors for road, sewage, electricity, air-conditioning and construction works. The Committee lay down terms for the companies and the organizations, which would apply for classification or for upgrade to a higher category.

There are two important exceptions to the application of the Tenders Law including Ministry of Defense Procurement; and Other Specialized Procurement.

Tendering In India

Posted on August 1, 2012 by admin

 


Tenders from India

Tendering process: It is a method where Indian government, as well as municipalities and most corporations issue a procurement notice in newspapers, official government publications and over the Internet for purchasing goods or services. In India the tender process is same as conducted in other parts of the world.

There are different tendering processes for different types of tenders.

The three types of tendering methods are Open Tendering; Selective Tendering and Negotiated Tendering.

 

OPEN TENDERING PROCESS IN INDIA:

This tendering process comprises various stages.

The first phase includes the pre-qualification stage, where the client lays down criteria for qualifying for the work being tendered. This phase is considered as an important stage as it drastically cuts the number of bidders and select only capable bidders.

The second stage is the tender invitation phase, where the client publishes or issues invitations to shortlisted bidders or to the public. This may not require media channels for communication.

The third stage is the tender clarifications and addenda phase, in which the client responds to the queries raised by the bidders in writing. It also engages possible issuance of tender addendums amending parts of the tender documents.

The fourth stage is the tender offer/bid submission phase where bids are presented in the form specified, mostly sealed envelops and then there is the tender opening and the post tender clarification phase whereby the client goes through the tenders and seeks any clarification from the bidders.

The next stage is the award phase where the client issues an acceptance letter to the successful bidder who is usually, but not always, the lowest bidder and the last stage includes the formalization of contract phase where the necessary documents are signed to formalize the agreement.

Selective tendering process:

In selective tendering process, the client selects only contracts that have delivered excellent results in previous similar tenders. This process includes three ways such as: an advertisement may produce several interested contractors and suitable Firms are selected to tender; the consultants may contact those they would wish to put on an ad-hoc list; and many local authorities and national bodies keep approved lists of contractors in certain categories, such as work type and cost range.

 

Negotiated tendering process:

In this process the client holds a one-to-one discussion with contractors to negotiate the terms of contract, as such tenders are mainly used for specialized projects like lift systems, airport projects etc at a larger level which includes a limited number of contractors who engage in these kind of projects from the industry .

 

In the Indian tendering scenario, frameworks are determined by guidelines set by the relevant international bodies including FIDIC or International Federation of Consulting Engineers for engineering-related tenders like computer tenders, civil work tenders and generators tenders.

However, the Indian central and state governments, Indian municipalities and establishments such as universities, the military and hospitals are governed by strict laws and only open competition bids are accepted.

Changes in telecommunications

In olden era, telecommunications industry was to make use of visual signals including ns, smoke signals, semaphore telegraphs, signal flags, and optical heliographs, or audio messages such as coded drumbeats, lung-blown horns, and loud whistles.

But the telecommunications industry has also changed its pattern with time. Now it involves the use of electrical devices like the telegraph, telephone, teleprinter, radio and microwave communications, including fiber optics and their associated electronics, along with the use of the orbiting satellites and the Internet. This is also considered as the fastest means of transferring information.

Key elements:

There are 3 key units that are always present in some form in the telecommunication system:

  • A transmitter that takes information and converts it to a signal.
  • A transmission medium, also called the “physical channel” that carries the signal. An example of this is the “free space channel”.
  • A receiver that takes the signal from the channel and converts it back into usable information.

Factors that boost telecommunications

The two major factors which are responsible for the growth of telecommunications industry are use of modern technology and market competition.

Modern technologies involve the use of many products of which there is one product called optical fibers, which are being used as a medium of data transmission rather than using coaxial or twisted pair cables. It is able to transmit a high volume of data and is easier to maintain and install. On the other hand the telecommunications industry becomes a booming industry with the use of communication satellites. The use of mobile network plays an important role in enhancing the telecommunications industry.

Poland, which is formally called as the Republic of Poland, is a country situated in the heart of Europe. It covers total area of 312,679 square kilometers, which makes it 69th largest country in the world and the 9th largest in Europe.

By supporting and establishing friendly relations with other European nations and with numerous ‘developing’ countries, Poland has strengthened its responsibilities and position in European and international affairs in recent years.

Poland membership:

Poland holds a strong membership of the European Union, NATO, the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), European Economic Area, International Energy Agency, Council of Europe, Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, International Atomic Energy Agency, G6, Council of the Baltic Sea States, Visegrad Group, Weimar Triangle and Schengen Agreement.

Presently, Poland is considered among the fastest growing countries in the EU with significant domestic market, low private debt, flexible currency, and not being dependent on a single export sector.

Economic:

Poland’s economic growth has been mainly pushed by the development of the private business sector, which was supported by the privatization of small and medium state-owned companies and a liberal law on establishing new firms.

Due to structural problems, surplus labor, inefficient small farms, and a lack of investment, the Poland agricultural sector has been hampered, as well as the restructuring and privatization of “sensitive sectors” (e.g., coal) has also been slowdown, but with the recent foreign investments in energy and steel it is gearing up. The health care, education, the pension system, and state administration have created larger than expected fiscal pressures due to recent reforms in those sectors.

Polish banking sector:

The Polish banking sector is the most highly developed sector of the country’s financial markets and represent as the largest sector in central and Eastern Europe. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority regulates the banking sector. While in Poland, the electricity generation sector is still largely based on fossil-fuel.

Tenders from Cement industry

CEMENT INDUSTRY: 

The cement industry has seen a drastic growth in recent years due to increasing demand for cement, from industrial activities, real estate business, construction and continued government investment in the infrastructure sector.

CEMENT:

In simple terms, cement is a binder that adheres different materials together and hardens autonomously. It refers as a basic ingredient in the Construction Industry.

Procedure:

Cement is produced from limestone, shell, clay mined out of a quarry close to the plant. The raw material is crushed, and then heated at temperature in excess of 1000 ºC in rotating kiln to convert it into clinker and then the clinker is blended with gypsum and ground to a fine powder to get final grade of cement.

Almost all cement consignments go to ready-mix concrete operators and the remaining are sent to manufacturers of concrete related products, contractors, materials dealers, oil well/mining/drilling companies, as well as government bodies.

TYPES: In construction, cement is differentiated as hydraulic or non-hydraulic. Hydraulic cements are not water-soluble and able to harden even underwater due to hydration, chemical reactions that occur independently of the mixture’s water content, for example: Portland cement, which is the most widely, consumed cement variety across the world. While non-hydraulic cements must be kept dry in order to retain their strength, for example: Gypsum plaster.

Worldwide cement production:

The production of cement is rapidly increasing in the world. It had increased by 50 percent in the last decade. The growth is seen due to strong development of cement industry in Asia.

In 2003, 1940 million tonnes of cement were produced around the world of which totaled 67% was from Asia.

Countries Rank:

Switzerland’s Public Procurement system

Posted on June 26, 2012 by admin

Switzerland ( swiss )procurement and Tenders

SWITZERLAND:

Switzerland a landlocked country positioned in Western Europe and all its four sides are bordered with Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. The country is considered as one of the most fertile countries in the world by per capita gross domestic product (GDP). After the adoption of the Swiss Federal Constitution in 1848, Switzerland has been subsisted as a state.

Switzerland with its highly skilled labor force has as a stable, prosperous economy. It was ranked as being the richest country in the world in per capita terms (with ‘wealth’ being defined to include both financial and non-financial assets) in 2011. Presently, Switzerland ranks 27 of 178 countries in the Ease of Doing Business Index.

Switzerland economy:

Switzerland economy is comprised of mainly three sectors: agriculture (consists less than 10%), industry (approximately 40%), and services or tertiary sector (includes more than 50%). The country imports bulky raw materials and exports high-quality goods.

Agriculture: Swiss agricultural segment is the primary sector in Switzerland Economy, but only 10% of the population is engaged in farming activities, which receives maximum support from the government.

Industry: Switzerland industrial sector is not very renowned worldwide but the country has present companies in different industrial sectors such as food processing, chemical for industrial and construction use, pharmaceutical, roof coating etc

Services: Tertiary sector includes areas like banking, assurances, tourism and so on.

Swiss-EU: Most of the Swiss economic patterns have been brought largely into agreement with the European Union’s policies, while some trade economic policy remains the same mainly for the small agricultural sector.

Public Procurement:

Public Procurement is also known as Government procurement or public tendering. It is a process where public authority like government agency issued procurement for goods and services. In developing countries, around 20% of the government procurement accounts for a substantial part of the global economy.

In many markets, specifically in bidding markets the intensity of competition relies on the regulatory framework.

It is estimated that every year the Swiss public procurement transactions totaled over CHF 30 billion, which signifies the importance of public procurement and the consequence of the rules and regulations regulating it.

3 levels of Public Procurement :

In Switzerland, Public procurement is administered on three levels such International treaties, national level and the cantonal and municipal level.

International treaties includes the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) and the bilateral Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on certain Aspects of Government Procurement stand as the basis for legalities within federal, cantonal and municipal public procurement systems.

National level: Federal Act on Public Procurement (FAPP) as well as the Ordinance on Public Procurement (OPP) set the regulations for public procurement by the Confederation (and other enterprises.

The Intercantonal Agreement on Public Procurement, along with the Federal Act on the Internal Market comprise of the regulations for 26 individual cantonal laws for procurement activities within the boundaries of cantonments and municipalities.

The public procurement law applies to the transaction, which matches the definition of a “public procurement” and the procuring entity and its services are as per the public procurement law.

FAPP Rules: The FAPP rules are relevant to the bodies on a national level such as the Federal Administration, the Federal Alcohol Board, the Federal Institutes of Technology and their research centers, the Swiss Post with regard to its non-competitive postal and transport services; and federal enterprises in the sectors of water, energy, transport and telecommunications (so-called “sector entities”, as defined in Art. 2a OPP).

The public procurement law is not valid to goods bought or services sourced from a public entity’s in-house entities, as per the rule. Swiss public procurement legislation does not determine a contract, when it is to be considered an “in-house” contract. There are 2 types of in-house procurement such as direct internal awards and indirect internal awards.

 

Revised FAPP: Recently, in Switzerland the Federal Act on Public Procurement, which plays an important role for bidding markets, has been revised.

The act has been revised in a bid to develop public procurement (e.g. by introducing electronic procedures); to illuminate the legal terms in the area of public procurement; to assure more flexibility (specific tender procedure for very complex projects); and to accord public procurement (today, 27 frameworks exist in Switzerland: one framework in each of the 26 cantons and one framework for the Confederation).

THE MINING INDUSTRY!

Posted on June 19, 2012 by admin

Latest Mining TendersMining is the process where minerals or other geological materials are extracted from the earth, from an orebody, lode, vein, (coal) seam or reef. This eventually is the platform for a miner/ mining company to gain monetary benefits and commercialize the output of the activity.
Mining operations:
Mining operations are differentiated into five major categories based on their resources such Oil and Gas extraction, Coal mining, Metal ore mining, Nonmetallic mineral mining and Quarrying, and Support activities for mining.

Minerals recovered:
Mining is carried out to discover materials like base metals, precious metals, iron, uranium, coal, diamonds, limestone, oil shale, rock salt and potash, which cannot be grown through agricultural processes, or created artificially in a laboratory or factory. It also includes extraction of any non-renewable resources (e.g., petroleum, natural gas, or even water).

COUNTRIES focusing on Mining:
Many countries carry out Mining, but USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Chile have become the leaders in mining, exploration methods and technology across the globe.

Techniques:
There are two common excavation types of mining techniques such as Surface Mining and Sub-Surface (underground) Mining.
Surface mining is much more common. Targets are divided into two general categories of materials: placer deposits and lode deposits.

Placer deposits include valuable minerals contained within river gravels, beach sands, and other unconsolidated materials.

Lode deposits comprise of valuable minerals that are found in veins, in layers, or in mineral grains generally distributed throughout a mass of actual rock.

Underground mining is executed when the rocks, minerals, or precious stones are located at a distance far beneath the ground to be extracted with surface mining. The miners construct underground rooms to work in, to assist the minerals to be taken out of the mine.

Two prominent ways through which underground mining is done are: Underground mining (hard rock) and Underground mining (soft rock), which requires different techniques.
The other mining methods are shrinkage stop mining which is mining upward creating a sloping underground room, long wall mining which is grinding a long ore surface underground and room and pillar which is removing ore from rooms while leaving pillars in place to support the roof of the room.
Generally the act of extracting is performed by the government authority, individual entrepreneurs or may be by small business owners as the entire process of extraction requires a large amount of capital.

World Bank
Since 1955, the World Bank has been involved in mining, primarily through grants from its International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, with the Bank’s Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency offering political risk insurance.
Some of the major bodies engaged in mining industry are employment, machinery, business and safety of the workers.

Employment:
A wide number of individuals are directly or indirectly involved in mining industry. The individuals involved directly with this mining industry are workers who perform activities such as digging, extracting etc, while the indirectly involved are accountants, lawyers, sales representatives etc.

Machinery:
Heavy machines play a vital role in Mining industry to implement explosions, digging, etc. The machines are used to break or remove rocks, drilling and a specially designed wagon is used for conveyance purpose which operates on tracks in a mine to transport mine workers, minerals and wastes.
Latest Mining contracts

Safety:
Safety issue is one of the main concerns of mining industry, as poor ventilation, some poisonous gases and toxicants can severely harm miners’ health, which may also cause trauma or even death to the miners.

Governments
The government plays the role of a regulatory body that facilitates clear policies and guidelines in order to boost the allied sectors and various stakeholders. The government plays a vital role of responsibility towards the general development of the industry and its dependents.

 

Opportunities within the mining industry are floated through government Tenders and Projects worldwide.

Examples of the kind of Tenders floated can be like:

Mining tenders, coal mining tenders, mineral mining tenders, Provision of Mining operations in affect road, Vehicle restraint systems, mining and temporaries, Supply of Consumables of mining drilling, Development of a Sustainable Mining Development Policy, Consultant Services for Legal and Policy (Review and Development of Mining (Safety) Act Regulations), Supply of mining flameproof switch-gear, Technical assistance in planning specific mining engineering and many more.
