FTAA – CONSULTATIVE GROUP ON SMALLER ECONOMIES Introduction This project conforms to the principles, objectives, and general characteristics of the Hemispheric Cooperation Program (HCP). In particular, it will allow Peru to participate more beneficially and equitably in the FTAA negotiations on government procurement. 1. Title of the Project Systematization and standardization of information on government procurement carried out since 1999. 2. Background The government procurement system in Peru can be defined as the rules, institutions or organizations, and public entities or companies that regulate, oversee, and carry out government procurement for the Peruvian State. The entity responsible for government procurement at the national level is the State Council on Procurement and Acquisitions—CONSUCODE1, created through Law 26850 of 30 July 1997. Government procurement regulations apply to all public sector entities and other agencies covered by Article 2 of the aforementioned law. In other words, the users and beneficiaries of CONSUCODE are: the national public sector, which includes the central government and decentralized entities, local governments, charity organizations, and State-owned companies, in addition to suppliers and contractors. In the fulfillment of its duties, CONSUCODE maintains ties with the entire State apparatus; hence, it plays an important role in the state’s selection processes, which are carried out in accordance with the law. CONSUCODE must therefore ensure that these processes comply with the corresponding legislation. Some 850,000 selection processes are carried out each budget year. These are divided into unpublished processes (limited tendering procedures and small contracts) and published selection processes (price-based open tendering, merit-based open tendering, and selective tendering). Consequently, within this context and in the performance of the aforementioned activities, CONSUCODE has and receives only partial information on published selection processes and lacks real information on unpublished processes. The information on published processes includes: a. The Annual Acquisitions and Procurement Plans (PAACs) of public sector entities, a certain percentage of which are published on CONSUCODE's webpage. 3. Rationale • An integrated information system that will serve not only to gather information but also to issue systematic reports.4. Objectives of the Project a) General • To standardize information used in monitoring selection processes and to systematize the main variables of government procurement carried out since 1999.b) Specific To systematize the information and to build the following databases: - The Acquisitions and Procurement Annual Plan for Public Sector Entities. 5. Inputs: Resources Required for the Project For the first part of the project, information received by CONSUCODE must be gathered and standardized.2 Likewise, the first part of the project must be executed in accordance with a methodology and it must be supervised by specialists. Once the information has been standardized, the second part of the project will consist in systematizing this information. For this purpose, the following will also be needed: - Licenses for software applications suitable for the objective of this project.6. Expected Results Results: - We expect CONSUCODE's organizational, operational, and functional capacity to be expanded and strengthened.Beneficiaries: All users of the government procurement system as well as all State entities. 1 For more information on CONSUCODE's organization and duties, please visit the following webpage: www.consucode.gob.pe. 2 The necessary hardware must be obtained for this. |
