Summary

Introduction

Public procurement is one of a number of activities within the operations of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh that requires special attention in promoting good corporate governance and better overall value for money. Increasing the effectiveness, efficiency and transparency of public procurement systems is an on-going concern of governments in Developing Countries and the international development community. In most Developing Countries public procurement of goods, services and works accounts for a significant proportion of GDP, so improved public procurement capacity results in greater value for money and increased public service delivery. In the area of diminishing resources and increased demand for accountability and transparency in government, the “stakeholders/shareholders” of the public sector are demanding more effective and efficient use of public resources.
