Contract Awarded by Selection of Individual Consultants (IC)

1. Project Country: Mongolia
2. Grant Number: H222 – MOG / Governance Assistance Project (GAP)
3. Scope of Contract:

Mongolia has received a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) for the Governance Assistance Project (GAP). The project includes four main components: (i) Management of Public Finance; (ii) Fostering Accountability and Monitoring; (iii) Investment Climate; and (iv) Project Coordination and Evaluation. The objectives of the Project are to: significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of key governance processes in public finance management, accountability and monitoring and investment climate.

The Public Procurement Capacity Development is one of sub-components supported by the GAP and its objective is to provide comprehensive assistance to the Government on effective implementation of the revised Law on Public Procurement. Assistance in this regard will focus on (i) reducing the lead time in public procurement, (ii) increasing transparency and accountability in public procurement, and (iii) enhancing disclosure of information pertaining to public procurement by improving national capacity for procurement policy and implementation as well as procurement monitoring and auditing.

The training currently provided on public procurement is limited to the training conducted by the Procurement Policy and Coordination Department (PPCD) in collaboration with the Procurement Development Center for government officials. Procurement under private sector as well as a pilot course on public procurement for Bachelor’s and Master’s degree candidates are provided by the Academy of Management starting 2006. All these trainings mainly focuse on introduction of the revised Procurement Law with limited scope and lack of well organized and consistent training modules. In the face of the need ad the rise of the state budgetary expenditure, Government needs a full-functional procurement skills dissemination module fitted into the entire Mongolian educational system.

In the area of procurement capacity building reform, the GAP has been supporting the PPCD, MoF to promote good procurement governance and management practices, institutional strengthening of government bodies and training for officials.

In order to ensure economic and efficient procurement, promote the development of a market economy, avoid waste of public funds and combat corruption, the public procurement capacity development is an essential tool in overcoming poor public procurement performance.

Therefore, the PPCD in collaboration with representatives from other related ministries developed a “Public Procurement Capacity Development Program”, which was approved by the Government of Mongolia on January 10th, 2007. The Program provides medium term objectives for the establishment of a sustainable procurement training system and government policy actions toward them.

The objective of the assignment is to assist the Government in development and implementation of the “National Public Procurement Capacity Development Program” through the establishment of a long-term sustainable training program and the reforms of government procurement to align to best international public procurement practices.
