Performance IndicatorsPurposes

• Improve performance -> improve procurement

• Set up performance indicators, in order to:– Identify problems and how they develop– Guide capacity development– Check impact of measures– Learning from good experience– Self-assessment and target setting

Performance indicatorsApproach

• Bottom-up approach:– Point of departure: The public

procurement process– Based on existing data available to

PPO– New types of data -> additional

indicators

Performance Indicators Based on Existing Data at PPO (I)

• Already there:– Ratio of cancelled or nullified

procedures– Use of non-competitive procedures– Number of bids in tenders– Ratio of low value procurements

Performance Indicators Based on Existing Data at PPO (II)

• Optional:– [Excessive use of a single contractor]– Absence of public notice for invitation to

bid– Absence of contract award notice, when the

negotiated procedure without prior notice has been applied

– Absence of necessary PP-officers

Development Perspective:Additonal performance indicators

• Need for existing but external data:– Complaints from bidders– Deficient procurement planning

• Need for additional data:– Insufficient reporting of procurement– Correspondence between

budgeted/accounted procurement and reported contracts

– Inspection of actual procurement

Ratio of tenders with only one bidder
