Procurement Reform:
Overview

IBTCI experience covers a wide range of procurement services. We assist clients that have responsibilities for ensuring that procurement is economic, efficient, fair and transparent: the international financing institutions that make loans and grants for development, the governments that receive these funds, and the agencies that carry out the procurement processes. Albeit, the procurement process itself is straightforward; the complexities arise in the details—how to organize and assign responsibilities; how to specify what is required; how to be sure bidders can perform; what criteria to use for evaluating offers; how to compare different goods or services from bidders in different countries, quoting different currencies; what kinds of guarantees are required, etc. Answers to these and other questions come from in-depth knowledge of the process and years of experience in carrying it out. IBTCI is able to offer all of the services needed to handle any procurement situation, from the ordinary to the most complex, from smaller value, short term studies/ assessments to multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts, and knows how to best tailor the approach to fit the particular circumstances. IBTCI’s preferred partner for procurement reform projects is International Development Business Consultants (IDBC-LLC, hereafter IDBC). IBTCI-IDBC Procurement Agents have almost 40 years of combined experience as firms and have collectively worked on more than 80 procurement projects.
