This chapter is about corrupt practices in the public procurement cycle. Taking the example of Uganda, it identifies what takes place at each of the stages of public procurement and examines the perspectives of stakeholders regarding alleged corruption, misappropriation, and fraudulent practices during the public procurement process. It also reviews the governance systems that have been put in place to try and stem out these malpractices and ensure proper governance in the administration of public procurement. The research followed a qualitative approach aimed at getting the views of stakeholders and understanding whether what is in place is adhering to the principles of public procurement which foster good governance and value for money. The findings of the study indicate that the perception of the majority of the respondents is that corruption is pervasive in public procurement in Uganda despite good laws, regulations, and guidelines that have been put in place and that it manifests itself at all the stages of public procurement.

PurposeTo satisfy donors and reduce public procurement acquisition prices, Benin has implemented and amended its first public procurement code guided by top-down principles of good governance.Design/methodology/approachThis study aims to measure the impact of the code and its amendment on public procurement acquisition prices of health-care equipment from 1995 to 2010.FindingsA segmented linear regression analysis was performed using interrupted time-series data. The analysis shows that the code and its amendment did not reduce acquisition prices, indicating the limited impact of the code. The authors recommend the implementation of bottom-up processes in establishing the public procurement system, and the development of a reference pricelist of the most widely used health-care equipment, as possible solutions for improving the effectiveness of the code.

<p>Pengadaan barang dan jasa secara ideal bertujuan untuk menjamin efisiensi, transparansi, dan keadilan dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan pembangunan oleh pemerintah. Dalam praktik, pelaksanaan pengadaan barang/jasa masih banyak sekadar memenuhi kewajiban administratif tanpa mempedulikan aspek substantifnya. Tulisan ini akan membahas ten tang pembenahan regulasi di bidang pengadaan barang dan jasa. Melalui penelitian yuridis normatif, penelitian ini menemukan regulasi terkait dengan pengadaan barang dan jasa memiliki kelemahan, khususnya berkaitan dengan mekanisme pelaksanaan pengadaan barang/jasa. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, maka mekanisme kerja, tradisi, dan perilaku birokrasi yang berpotensi menghambat terwujudnya pemerintahan yang bersih, pembaharuan peraturan perlu disesuaikan agar fleksibilitas pengadaan barang dan jasa memenuhi kebutuhan pemerintah dan sekaligus menghindari ditabraknya prinsip pengadaan yang ada. Disamping itu perlu pula adanya pembenahan terhadap regulasi di bidang Pengadaan Barang dan Jasa, yaitu dari Peraturan Presiden diubah menjadi Undang-Undang.</p><p>Procurement of goods and services are ideally aimed at ensuring efficiency, transparency and fairness in the implementation of development activities by the government. In practice, the implementation of the procurement of goods / services are still a lot just to meet the administrative duties regardless of the substantive aspects. This paper will discuss the reform of regulation in the field of public procurement. Through normative juridical research, this study found the regulations related to procurement of goods and services have drawbacks, particularly with regard to the implementation mechanisms of goods / services. To address these concerns, the mechanism of action, traditions, and bureaucratic behavior that could potentially hinder the realization of good governance, regulatory reform needs to be adjusted so that the flexibility of the procurement of goods and services meet the needs of government and at the same time avoiding existing procurement principles. Besides, it also needs a revamping of the regulation in the areas of Procurement, which is converted to the President of the Regulations Act.</p>

Abstract This article assesses the factors shaping policy diffusion of effective, liberal public procurement regimes. Policy diffusion and the analysis of policy diffusion is less developed in public procurement than other policy areas such as investment. This is surprising given the potential economic (public procurement accounts for some 8% of GDP) and signaling (transparency, good governance) gains of adopting regimes that promote competition in public procurement markets. The article first provides an introduction to the issue of public procurement and discusses the nature of procurement regimes, the dependent variable. It then assesses the impact of key variables identified in the literature on policy diffusion, such as competition, coercion and norm emulation. It is argued that issue linkage in bilateral free trade agreements (FTA) appears to have brought about common laws – and in some cases – rules for procurement. But this stops short of a genuine diffusion of liberal procurement regimes due to negotiations being framed by reciprocity rather than efficiency considerations, the costs and complexity of implementation, as well as opposition from vested sector interests and politicians at all levels of government favoring the short term political utility of ‘buy local’ policies.
