Abstract
Abstract Public procurement in Iraq plays an essential function in the development and recovery of the country's economy as well as providing the essential infrastructure for the growth of the private sector. The Coalition Provisional Authority's Government Procurement Legislation No. 87 (2004) is the final procurement law in effect in Iraq. Preparations are underway for new procurement legislation as of Oct. 2021. The objective of the paper is to determine the effectiveness of the public procurement process used in a construction project in Iraq, there is also a lack of procurement methods and policy consistency between government agencies. procurement techniques, tender documentation information, Advertising deadlines, and document management procedures, for example, vary amongst federal contracting agencies. Furthermore, there is no mandatory process for the definition and disclosure of tender evaluation criteria, providing room for subjectivity in the tender award process. This paper's major conclusion that is competitive tendering is open to everyone, tendering is not mandated as Iraq's general rule, despite the fact that it is considered best practice elsewhere. Direct invitation techniques are widely used in the construction project process tendering of Iraq and if not adequately managed, they can lead to bias, fraud, and corruption.
