Water transparency survey

Question Title

* 1. Where in the contract award process is there greatest scope for corruption?

At the contract preparation stage where specifications can be inserted to benefit particular suppliers

At the prequalification stage where capable bidders can be deliberately excluded

At the tender stage where announcements can be restricted to favoured bidders

At the bid opening stage where the bidders are not given details of competing bids or their reason for rejection

At the bid evaluation stage where there is no necessity to make the award to the low bidder

After the bid award where the change orders start coming in

Question Title

* 2. Which procurement model is most exposed to abuse by contractors?

Design-bid-build or tightly specified EPC

EPC or design-build

Construction manager at risk

Design-build-operate

BOT or design-build-finance-operate

Alliance model/joint venture procurement

None: the procurement model makes no difference

Question Title

* 3. What can be done to reduce the scope for corruption and unfair competition in the water industry?

Advocate progressive procurement models which share construction risks more fairly among the parties concerned

Ensure that specifications focus on project outcomes rather than project inputs

Encourage clients to invest in project preparation so change orders are less necessary

Pay public utility staff more so that they do not have to depend on bribes for their income

Encourage clients to sign up to a transparency standard in the tender process
